can picture burying myself deep inside her. The pressure builds with the thoughts of her and I come in the shower. I let the hot water pound on my head and try to slow my breathing. Savvy has gotten into my head, and I don’t want to let it go.
    I get out of the shower and put on another pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Coming back out into the family room, I look at the clock.
    “We should get going. Grab your stuff, we don’t want to be late for dinner,” I tell her.
    She looks at me confused. “Grab my stuff?” she asks, knitting her eyebrows together cocking one eye.
    “Yeah, grab your stuff. You’re not coming back here. You’ll go home with Max and Chloe after dinner. I’ll let you know when I get home about your car. If it runs, I’ll tell you the code to open the garage door. Maybe Max can drop you off in the morning and you can get it before school. If it’s not fixed, I’ll go to the parts store after work and we can figure out from there how to get you your car back. My offer still stands. You’re more than welcome to use the Tesla. If the battery isn’t the problem, it may take me a few days to pinpoint the problem and get it running again. I can take my motorcycle, or I can hitch a ride with Ava,” I tell her, grabbing my wallet and keys.
    She opens her mouth like she wants to say something, but closes it again. It must have hurt her black eye, or maybe even her stitches, because her eyes start to tear up. She holds my eyes, and then quickly turns her head. Her hair cascades down her face so I can’t see her face anymore, then she starts shoving her things in her messenger bag.
    I walk over to the couch to take her bags, she stands and put’s them over her shoulder. I take the straps, but she takes them back.
    “I’ve got them,” she says.
    She follows me out to my car and she hasn’t said another word. Her mood seems to have changed. I walk her to the passenger side of my car and she gives her car a sad look. I open the door and her eyes come to mine. This isn’t the same woman I spent time with at the zoo. She looks out the window the entire drive to my mother’s house. I pull up to the curb and turn off the engine.
    “Are you alright?” I ask, concerned.
    “Sure, never better,” she answers, grabs her bags and gets out of the car. I walk over to her and try to take her bags from her. “I’ve got them,” she says again.
    By the time we get to the front door, my mother already has the door open. She takes one look at Savvy’s face, and then looks at me. She knows all about what Reno did last time, and I’m sure one of my brothers or sisters has already told her about what happened at the bar. She takes Savvy’s hand and puts her bags down in the hallway, and then leads her into the kitchen with her.
    I go into the family room where the rest of the family is and I’m immediately hit with a million questions.
    “How is she?” Amelia asks.
    “You know I thought she was doing better, but when we left to come here, I don’t know, it looked like she was upset about something,” I tell them.
    “What did you guys do today?” Ava asks.
    “She said that she had never been to the zoo, so I took her. Her car wouldn’t start this morning, so it’s still in my garage. I worked on it for a little bit while she did homework. Then we came here,” I tell her.
    “Did she talk any about Reno? How long has he been back in town? What exactly did he mean by he was coming back to get what is his?” Amelia asks.
    “Don’t worry about Reno. Levi and I took care of it,” Max says.
    “You said that last time,” I remind him.
    “Well, I wasn’t counting on him being as dumb as he looks. Trust me, he’s not coming back,” Max returns angry.
    “So, she was fine last night and this morning, and all day until you left to come here?” Willow says.
    “Yeah, it’s strange,” I tell her.
    “Call me crazy, but I think she’d rather go back home with you tonight, than go to Max and
