We agree to sleep in shifts. Because Cecily and I napped on the way to Charleston, we’re wide awake. Linden stretches out across the front seat, and eventually I can tell by his breathing that he’s asleep. If he’s given any thought to his father finding us through Cecily’s tracking device, it doesn’t seem to be among his concerns. He has a better understanding of Vaughn’s tactics than I do.

Cecily is beside me in the backseat, and she stares through her vinyl window at the darkness for a while before she says, “That’s the first time he’s talked about Rose in front of me. That story about the Ferris wheel and her parents traveling.”

“It’s painful for him,” I say.

She shakes her head, still looking away. “That’s not it. He knows that I get jealous sometimes.”

“Jealous of what?” I say.

“It isn’t easy competing with three other women for my husband’s heart,” Cecily says.

“There’s no competition,” I say. “You’re the only wife he has now.”

“I know Linden,” she says. “He’ll always love Rose. And Jenna was the beautiful one—I’ll never be able to compare.” She turns her head and looks at me, and there’s so much pain in her eyes.

Softly she says, “And then there’s you.”
