Jake drove past the large Tudor home before parking next to the curb
and shutting off the car’s engine. He sat behind the wheel for several minutes,
as the memories flashed through his mind. Had it really been four years since
he had attended one of George Urbane’s infamous Fourth of July parties?
Four years since he had last seen friends, he considered his closest in the
world? He didn’t question why he had lost contact with the people he had
once considered family, because he knew the answer. Knew all too well why
he had to leave, why he had to escape.

A familiar churning deep in his gut threatened to surface as he stared

her with what he could never give her, could give no woman. “I hope you’re
happy, Brenda,” he whispered.

Shocked to realize he held the steering wheel in a death grip, he
released his hands, mentally shaking the disturbing images of the past from
his mind. Although his heart was beating faster than normal, he was ready to
go to the party. Needed to go to the party. He was determined to leave the
past where it belonged, in the past, and enjoy himself this afternoon. He
