She wasn’t a crier. She’d never been a crier. Even when she’d discovered the truth about Randy, she hadn’t cried. She certainly wasn’t going to cry now. She sniffed again, trying to prove that truth to herself.

“Why would I be?” she asked, not opening her eyes because she was afraid a tear might slip out.

She was fine.

Or, she would be.

Once she fulfilled her promise to Juniper and made it back home.

Please, God, let that happen. Please, she prayed silently, her eyes still closed as the truck descended the mountain.
