colour in the trees.
    Thankfully, Jessica took Tara’s gentle hint and changed the subject. There were things in her life too painful to talk about and she’d rather they stay in the past.
    “Jelani’s the shutter addict out of the three of us. I swear the man never goes on a walk without at least one camera with him. Tomorrow, I’ll take you both for a drive and show you the best places to see the changing leaves. This is the most beautiful place on the earth. The time frame is so short, then all the leaves fall off and we get covered by snow again.”
    “That sounds nice, but if my car’s okay, then I’ll probably end up on my way by then.” She rubbed the heel of her hand against the back of her neck. The ache that had started there earlier was nagging her again.
    “Are you all right, Tara? Maybe Jelani should’ve sent you for X-rays.” Jessica looked like she was about to call her husband over, but Tara shook her head.
    “No, I’m fine. It aches a bit, but it’s to be expected.” Tara was terrified the accident had caused more damaged than she originally thought. If that was the case how was she going to work and support her little guy?
    “How about I call my friend, River? She’s going to school to be a massage therapist and is in her second year. She might be able to give you a bit of relief, or at least she’ll know some ideas of what will help.”
    “No really, I’ll be okay, Jessica.”
    “You’re used to doing everything on your own, aren’t you?”
    Jessica’s comment was much too close to the truth for Tara’s liking. Tara had done everything on her own for as long as she could remember. First it was taking care of her parents and the dozens of things they did for their church and now it was her and Zack. “We all have to take care of ourselves, Jessica. No one’s going to do it for us.”
    “Okay, I’m going to stop asking you then.” Jessica patted her arm and smiled at her.
    “Thank you.” Tara mentally sighed. She didn’t want to owe anyone more than she already did. She needed to get back on her feet and headed in her original direction as soon as possible. She had a plan and there’d been all sorts of diversions already.
    Jessica pulled a cell phone out of her pocket and made a call. “Hey, River! Got a second?”
    “Jessica? What are you doing?”
    “I said I wasn’t going to ask you anymore, so I’m going to find out the information. That way I’ll have it when you change your mind. We take care of each other in this town.” Jessica grinned at her and then focused on her conversation. “River, do you know what we can do for someone who might have strained their neck in an accident…yeah, her name’s Tara.”
    Tara didn’t know what to say. She wanted to protest Jessica’s going out of her way, but the information would come in handy. She would have to figure out a way to repay their kindness.
    The low rumble of a large motorcycle caught her attention and made her heart skip a beat. She took a quick swallow of her drink, hoping it would calm her a bit. Don’t be such a ninny, it might not be him. But she hoped it was. Lars had made her feel…safe and wonderful. She wasn’t about to jump into bed with him. As much as I would love to. She’d learned a lesson the hard way, but she couldn’t resist the intense draw she felt to him when he was near. Perhaps it was because he got her and Zack out of the car after the accident. She read something somewhere about rescuer worship or something.
    It didn’t stop her hands from trembling or her heart from fluttering in anticipation of seeing him again. She heard someone walking down the path along the edge of the house, but the man who turned the corner wasn’t Lars.
    “Hey, guys, looks like a great soccer game you have going on.”
    “Hey, Cris! Want to give us a hand?” Jelani asked. “This little guy’s kicking our butts.”
    Cris wasn’t looking at the men. He stood there staring at her. Tara felt as though
