Janie wasn't watching the road when she left her lane for oncoming traffic. Her eyes were on the large numbers of her cellular phone while her mind was on tonight's reunion and whether or not her old friends would be there.
The pickup truck that hit her carried a driver and his two boys. All of their last thoughts were about love and the woman waiting for them at home. She was making macaroni and cheese.
When Janie awoke in the hospital with lacerations and a concussion, she breathed heavily and wondered about the party, about how beautiful everyone looked.
