Cane's POV
My body just started moving. I didn't even think about it. My feet were carrying me across that hot parking lot asphalt towards where Stephanie was standing. My brain was empty. All I knew was I had to get to her. I had to grab her shoulders and shake her until the truth fell out of her mouth.
Then I heard it.
"Dad!"
The sound cut right through the crazy in my head. I stopped walking and turned around.
Josh. He was standing there by my big black car. He was holding the back door open was looking right at me. His face had a question on it.
Vroom!
That awful sound. The sound of her cheap little car engine screaming to life. My head snapped back so fast my neck hurt.
I saw her car. The tires made a squealing noise on the pavement. She was driving away. Fast. She turned the corner and then... nothing. She was just gone. Swallowed up by the other cars on the road.
