"Mommy, Daddy!!"
Rachel called out excitedly.
Alice immediately twisted around to look out the window.
In an instant, her body went rigid against the seat.
Rachel pressed herself against the window and said, "Mommy, Daddy just drove past..."
The driver had already stopped the car and asked, "Miss Robinson, did Mr. Robinson just go by?"
Rachel tugged on Alice, who had suddenly gone quiet. "Mommy, what's wrong?"
Alice's body was stiff against the seat back, her mind flashing back to that moment just now.
He drove past in his car, brushing right by this one...
When she saw him, she was overjoyed, but the instant she saw Becca in that white dress, sitting so elegant in the passenger seat beside him, her heart clenched tight.
When she saw him and Becca chatting and laughing together, it felt like someone had slammed a fist into her, so hard she couldn't breathe.
Alice's breathing turned pained, her eyes reddening at once.
