Chapter 25

• I drove my jeep to school and my sisters’ drove in Maria’s car. They wanted me to go with them, but I still didn’t feel like having company. I drove slowly, prolonging the time I had to get to school. All I could think about was how people would react to my current state. Jane would definitely have a field day with this. Josh will be a gentleman about it, but George I wasn’t so sure, he was too crazy for me to pin down his reaction. One thing is for sure, the advances will die a sudden death.
• I wore one of Ash’s black shirts over a white vest. I felt torn about wearing it, but I had little choice in my own wardrobe and besides my perfume had masked his scent enough for me to stand it. But it was still his—his body had been in it.
• I drove the car into the slot next to Maria’s Audi. My sisters were standing next to it, with tight fake smiles pasted on their faces. I laughed at the effort they were making to look at ease.
