She looked around. ‘Was this where I broke down?’
‘More or less.’
‘Wow. She reached out to take his hand. ‘It wasn’t all that long ago.’
‘Officially it was last year.’
‘True, but a lot has changed in a very short time. I can hardly believe I’m going home.’
‘That we are going home.’
‘It’s a little scary,’ Katie said in a small voice. ‘This medical school thing. I’m still a little afraid of that.’
‘Don’t be. Ambition is a good thing. Reach for the stars. I am.’
‘What stars are you reaching for?’
He took her hand and kissed it. ‘I think you know. I know I found something special on the side of this road that day. We haven’t known each other very long, but I think this is just a beginning for us. We can take this as fast or a slow as you like … but I think I already know where our road is leading.’
Katie’s heart skipped a beat. ‘Be careful what you wish for,’ she said with a smile. ‘You might get it.’
Laughing, they got back into the car, and before he started the engine, Scott kissed her.
‘I love you,’ he said.
He started the engine and the car leaped forward. It quickly gathered speed and vanished into the silver heat haze shimmering across the thin strip of grey road.
