REMY
Dear Parker…
I don’t know how to start this letter, or if I should even be writing you
one. You just lost your husband, and I… lost one of my best friends. I don’t
think any of us will know what’s the right thing to do. Not for a long time.
What I know is that I can’t imagine the pain you must be feeling. Knowing
Danny won’t be there for the birth of your son. Or his son’s first day of
school. Or any of those things that you’ve dreamed of since you were a little
girl.
I can’t make this right, and I know me writing to tell you that is
practically useless.
But I’m here.
“FUCK.”
Tearing up the weather-worn letter I’ve been working on for a month
and a half in the middle of the desert during my deployment suddenly
seems like a great idea. Until I glance over my shoulder to see Lincoln
Hayes, my best friend, staring out at the desert with a defeated expression
on his face. Like the entire world is gone. For him, though, it practically is.
“Fuck,” I mutter once more.
Rather than tear up the letter I can’t even bring myself to finish, I fold it
into the same tight square as before and slip it back into the pocket over my
left breast, closing my eyes briefly as its negligible weight returns to my
chest. Suddenly, I feel like I can breathe again.
“One more month, Remy. One more month.” Linc’s voice hits me like a
freight train. Since the accident, I don’t think I’ve heard more than one
word from him at a time. “Then we’re out of this hell.”
His eyes never leave the anchor he’s been staring at every single day
since the accident.
“Do you think you’re going to go home?” I cough, trying to cover the
heavy emotions I feel digging into my chest. “To see your mom. Parker.”
Even saying her name sends a chill down my spine.
Stop.
The order is useless, though. I’ll never not think about Parker Hayes. I
haven’t before, and I won’t now. She’s always been the perfect
contradiction, wrapped in sass and fire. Everything that makes the wet
dreams of a teenager come to life.
Linc’s shoulders tense, and then he sighs, slumping into something that
doesn’t resemble my best friend in the slightest. “No. I can’t see her. Not
yet. Not until I have something to tell her.”
But he isn’t talking about Parker. Nor is he talking about his mom. I can
tell that much by the way his eyes dart over my face, almost afraid of what
I’ll say next.
Hell, I’d be afraid too, honestly.
“Kennedy’ll wait for you.” I take the high road and deserve a fuckin’
trophy for it. “She’ll be hurt, and no doubt will give you all sorts of shit
about it. But you lost your brother, Linc. You deserve some time to figure
out your life, to salvage what’s left of your happiness.”
“She’s your sister, man.” Linc closes his eyes, wrapping his hands
around his face. His pain filters through the short distance between us,
