Obsession Falls
“Then gravity took over and it fell faster. And faster.
For one long, foolish second, Summer gaped. Then she reacted. She flung the plans aside. She slammed the car into gear, popped the clutch, and peeled out, spitting gravel behind her. She fishtailed, straightened out, roared along for twenty feet.
