Chapter Twenty
Two Decades Ago
The morning after Jane and Paulâs encounter with the amber light, the hallway telephone jangled. Jane yanked the covers over her head to grab another hour of sleep before church. A weight eased onto the edge of her mattress.
Jane rolled over, ready to smart-off, but the tired woman gazing back with an all too familiar dread sent energy through Jane like a strong cup of coffee.
Her mother set a soft hand on Janeâs blanketed leg. âIâm afraid Roy was in a crash last night.â
Jane sat up with a glower. âNo way.â Impossible. Roy had been way too tired for that, too settled-in for the night when she and Paul left. âIs he okay?â
Her mother smoothed the covers and stared out the window. âHe was barreling down Seven Hills, Jane. Too fast. Didnât have a seatbelt on. Drunk, Iâm guessing. You kidsââ
âOh my, God. Is he in the hospital?â
Her motherâs eyes glistened. âJaney, sweetie. It was instant.â
âNo.â Janeâs voice shook. She leapt from the bed, stumbled out of the covers, and ran to her desk. She grabbed her Nokia cellphone and rapidly stamped out Paulâs number.
It rang and rang.
