SHE AND JOSH TALKED more in the car on the way back, and Cara began to feel a little better. It wasn’t much, but she did have some choices. She would start by choosing to let her friends back in and trying to enjoy herself sometimes. That was her mindset when her phone chimed.

The message was from Liv, and whatever Liv wanted her to do, she was in. She replied immediately.

We’ll pick you up on Monday. 1 p.m.

Sounds good.

Then she messaged Wes and Jory to extend an invitation to dinner one night to see her uncle. She’d invite Liv, too, when she saw her.

The fact that Liv had said “we” escaped her until the maroon van pulled up to her curb on Monday, and she whipped out her phone to check again.

Crap. How did you miss that?

She’d made the choice to stop avoiding her friends, even if they still looked at her like a ticking time bomb, but she hadn’t considered who else she might stop avoiding yet. Wes, Jory, and Liv were enough of a start, weren’t they? Did she have to be thrown in the deep end with Rhys right away too?

Liv’s auburn hair bounced as she waved from the front seat. Cara opened the back door, trying to decide how much of a traitor Liv really was. Jory beamed at her from the far side. Okay. Better. At least this was some sort of group excursion.

“Cara, tell my brother he needs a new car. I’ve been trying to tell him forever, and he won’t listen,” Liv said as they left Cara’s block.

“Why?”

“Because. Look at this thing. It’s an embarrassment. It’s so . . . old.”

Cara looked around the interior. The first time she’d been inside, she’d sat in the front seat while they drove all the way from the city to the mansion to research a cure for Liv. She held weirdly fond memories of that sweltering day in spite of the task they’d been working on. The carpet at her feet was where Lydia’s unconscious body had lain more recently. But as her uncle had said, that night had ended with them saving Lydia too, even if it was tainted by other events. She could choose to focus on the positive.

“See? Cara thinks it’s hideous too.” Liv interpreted her silence.

“I didn’t say that. I don’t know why we need new things all the time. This van”—she searched for the right words—“runs.”

Liv looked scandalized until Rhys burst out laughing.

Hiding a little grin, Cara asked, “Why don’t you buy a car, Liv? Wouldn’t that be easier?”

Rhys spoke for the first time. “That’s what I said. Cara gets it.”

Liv made a face at her brother. “I prefer being chauffeured. Besides, I’ll look great riding in my boyfriend’s new Jaguar.”

Cara turned to Jory. “Does that mean you finally decided what your parents are getting you for your birthday, Sunshine? It was two months ago after all.”

“Not yet. I’m not in a rush. I’m narrowing down the list,” Jory replied with a grin.
