rooted in its spot. I punch the gas pedal to the floor and close my eyes. In a moment I will be free. I will have my sister and my parents back and I will be me again. The sound of crunching metal assaults my ears. The impact jars my body. I taste blood. Pain rockets through me. Then, everything goes black. This is it.

I leave Colin sleeping in bed and head to the cafe from last week. I want to get the book from the lovely Jenna. I could have easily downloaded it to my kindle but part of me wants to keep the connection with her, so off I go. When I arrive she’s already claimed a table out front and is sitting quietly reading and sipping her coffee.
“Hi.”
“You came!” Jenna elates.
“I did. I’m hoping I could take you up on the offer to borrow the book if you’ve finished.”
She leans down digging through the bag at her feet and pops back up furnishing the book we’d talked about.
“I brought it just in case you showed today.” Her smile is bright and intoxicating. I find myself grinning broadly just from the sight of it.
“Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. When I finish, will I find you here to return it?” I ask.
“Every Friday morning honey.” We carry on for a few more moments before I enter the cafe ordering coffees and treats for Colin and I. By the time I’m back home Colin is up, sitting on the deck reading the paper. I almost hate to interrupt. It’s a treat watching him without him knowing. The way he runs his hand through his hair each time he flips a page makes my chest tight. When he crosses and uncrosses his legs the muscles twitch and bulge. He’s really a sight to see. He’s beautiful. Something catches his attention and his head slowly turns his hazel eyes meeting mine with a smile.
“You’re back! Where are these pastries you speak of?” He jokes. I sit down next to him, set our coffees down and pull out the treats.
“A raspberry cheese Danish, two cinnamon rolls and one of those little blueberry tart things.” I say triumphantly.
“That’s a lot of pastries for two people.” His lips twitch at the corners.
“Well ... I kinda wanted a little of all of them and I couldn't decide.... so.... I went with gluttony over practicality.” I shrug. He laughs loud and hard and it makes my heart beat wildly. I love hearing it. I love his smile. His mouth. He picks up the Danish and eyes me mischievously. “Open up Ellie.” He badgers. I do as I’m told and open for a bite. He slides the Danish into my mouth and as I start to bite down he smashes it all over my face. I squeal and stare at him wide eyed before bursting out laughing.
“You just ruined a perfectly delicious Danish!” I squawk at him.
“Man,” he laughs, “note to self, don't mess with Elle’s pastries.”
I scrape a giant hunk off my chin and smush it across his lips. He licks them and moans.
“Oh man, that is seriously one amazing Danish.”
“Now you understand.” I laugh at him. I wipe my face off and we finish our treats without wasting anymore.
“There’s a Rock Gym two towns over.” He informs me. “We can head over anytime.”
“Nice.”
“Why rock climb?” He asks.
“I don’t know, it was just something neither one of us had ever done. We, ah, weren’t very outdoorsy. I guess it was to try something outside our normal comfort zone. Plus Jenny was afraid of heights so it would have been kinda monumental for her.”
“Well then, we do this for Jenny.” He raises his coffee cup in a toast.
“For Jenny.” I parrot and clink my cup to his.

Her fingers glide through her hair as she pulls it up and knots it loosely at the top of her head. A guide is strapping her into a harness and the way the straps cut across each half globe of her rear makes my dick twitch. Her yoga pants hug every inch of her in the most alluring way. I
