Chapter 37

TJ had seen Norah three times at the track. Every other morning when he went she was already there. They didn’t speak, although he saw that she followed him home each time. Probably worried about his legs giving out on one of those turns.

He had no idea if she was worried about him or protecting other drivers from him. So he tried not to think about it much.

They had no real communication there, and he didn’t see her at all anywhere else. He’d tried to hide it, but JD just point blank asked Kelsey one night if Norah talked while they ran. TJ had been sitting right there and considered spontaneous combustion a real option at the time.

Kelsey had turned to him. “Not a single word about you.”

Great.

But Kelsey continued on in that woman-logic he didn’t understand. “That speaks volumes in itself. She’s playing it close to the chest.”

If that spoke volumes, Kelsey hadn’t pulled any off the shelf to read to him. So he had no idea what to make of it, and wasn’t about to turn to JD’s wife and ask.

When he was there on the track, he kept thinking Norah might just plant herself in front of him and say something. She had to know that she held those cards. That she could outrun him in any footrace these days if she so chose.

But she didn’t choose.

Even when he’d pushed himself to go too fast and he’d stumbled and gone down, she’d only briefly paused, then run on by.

He didn’t lie to himself that he didn’t harbor images of her stopping and picking up his injured hand and kissing it. But he wasn’t that injured because he’d been wearing leather biker’s gloves as he’d planned on picking up his feet and jogging a little. And he’d been thinking about the old Norah, not the one who didn’t let him in on life-altering possibilities and found it perfectly acceptable to condemn him on her father’s shoulder.

He’d gone home each day and showered, thinking that he’d wash it all away. He hadn’t been able to scrub hard enough.

He stood waiting, inside the front door of the handi-house. Most of his things were packed up. He’d been to his old house three times taking loads over. Tomorrow, he would actually vacate this place. He hadn’t wanted to do it on top of the show tonight at McMinn’s. That would just be too much at once.

JD was coming to pick him up, which was good because he was a little more nervous than normal. But that made sense, it was his first time back up on stage. Clearly everyone else was nervous about him, too.

JD pulled up in the SUV and TJ locked the front door behind him, then walked himself down the ramp. He’d warmed up his voice at home, and aside from a few words he remained silent all the way there.

The place was local so it wasn’t a long drive, but he just rolled his head from side to side and stretched his arms and legs while his brother drove.
