It was a cloudy Saturday morning with the threat of rain hanging heavy in the air. Rebecca drove, knowing Jace didn’t even like to ride in a car since his accident, let alone drive. She had gathered from comments he’d made that he no longer possessed a driver’s license—a real turnabout for a man who had once filled a three-car garage with sleek Italian sports cars. Jace stared at the dull gray road that stretched out before them and at the gray horizon beyond it. He sat on the passenger’s side, his fingers toying nervously with his seat belt, looking as if he were going to meet a fate worse than death. Lord, he was dying for a cigarette or a drink, or both. The need was always stronger on the days he went to visit Casey. It was then that panic would claw at his insides and the coward in him would beg for a shield to protect him from what he’d done. He had never, would never give in to that need. It was even worse with Rebecca sitting beside him. Soon he would have no secrets from her.
