Chapter 64

• Pulling out onto the highway, Kelsey gripped the steering wheel tight. She’d procrastinated three days longer than planned, avoiding heading home and going to face Gage.
• In the three years since she’d gone away to school, she’d only seen him twice and both meetings had been brief, polite, and cordial.
• Now she was going back for good. School was finished and instead of going in the other direction to begin her life she was driving to the place that called to her. No matter the arguments she had with herself, she just had to go back there. She really didn’t know why. It wasn’t as if the location was appealing, unless you liked rocks, lakes, and trees which she did, up to a point, but it wasn’t the draw. At least she didn’t think it was. Another thing that drove her crazy was with everything else she was determined, had tunnel vision and didn’t give in, everything except home, where she felt conflicted and confused all the time.
