Her Forever Family (2010)
“Erin asked. “You’re very good at your job and you know it takes time and patience to change behavior. Why the big rush to throw in the towel on this case?”
Ali steered the Land Rover into a nearby Waffle House parking lot and slipped between the lines of an empty space. She lowered the windows and cut the engine, glad it was late and nobody would see her so close to tears. She crossed her right forearm over her eyes to block out a nearby street lamp.
“Ali, you still there?”

“Hey! I can hear how upset you are. Talk to me.”
Talk was good therapy Ali knew that for a fact. But she also knew there were some memories better left undisturbed. She’d try to explain this to Erin but there were not enough words in the English language to describe how she’d felt when that call had come in late one night nearly eight years ago.
“Doctor Stone? This is Rose from your answering service. Darien Sims was pronounced dead on arrival at City General about two hours ago.MoreLess
