Epiphany (30 page)

“Now all you have to do is try not to kill each other before fixing this problem with
Shannon, hmmm?” My mother quirks her dark eyebrows at me.

I spend another hour with them, but skip the spa ritual that Patricia and Mom always
indulge in after lunch; wanting to be alone. They do this once or twice a week and
won’t miss me, anyway. My thoughts keep wandering around Drake; ever since Patricia
mentioned him, I have been having a hard time getting him off my mind. Drake and I
grew up together. We were inseparable. I worshipped the ground that he walked on from
about the age of eight, I think. I suppose I loved him so much that I didn’t see any
of his flaws back then. Even at that young age, Drake was already a handsome kid.
His clear, grey eyes never failed to capture and hold me in a trance.

Everything changed the summer after I turned eighteen, though.
