“Austin fell fast asleep early on. Paige assumed Sterling kept quiet because he was worried about waking him. They stopped to get a bite to eat at eight o’clock then topped off the tank a half hour later even though it was less than half empty.

His family must be horrible to have hurt him so badly. His left hand clutched the wheel, so she slipped her arm through his right, trying to be supportive.
Sterling smiled. “What’s that for?”
Paige leaned her head against his shoulder. “I’m grateful for what you’re doing. This must be hard.”
He didn’t answer, but she could see his jaw clench in the dim glow of a passing headlight.MoreLess
