The basketball team won state, making it to nationals, coming in third. A few short weeks later the triplets turned eighteen. A couple weeks after that the racetrack held their annual amateur drift races. The races had started out for fun. Now it had agents coming, hoping to find their next client, drawing in more people than were allowed entrance.

She was finally able to take part in it, and they all anxiously watched from the top of the main building, where they were able to view the whole track. When it was all over and Maggie had won, all air expelled from Ryder’s lungs. Parker was shocked to realize he had been holding his breath the whole time. He knew Ryder had a crush on Maggie. He could tell by the way he avoided her like the plague but was always staring at her.
