original plan was to take Christy with her car shopping and, as a huge surprise, buy two cars. One for her and one
     for Christy. She hadn’t priced any used cars yet, but she felt confident she could stretch what she had budgeted for a car
     to buy two used ones instead of one new vehicle.
    Sitting across from Christy, Katie had a feeling it would be too much of a strain on their friendship if Katie gave her a
     car. Christy was used to receiving expensive items from her wealthy aunt and uncle, but Katie had watched how the weight of
     those gifts had affected Christy’s relationship with her aunt. Not that the gift of a used car would necessarily damage Christy
     and Katie’s relationship, but she realized now how awkward it would be. People would find out that Katie had received a chunk
     of money. Way more money than she ever had let on, but, still, it would be clear that she inherited enough money to buy two
     cars. That in and of itself was extraordinary enough to start people asking questions. Rick still didn’t know anything about
     the money. How would all that settle with him?
    She hadn’t realized how complicated this might be.
    “Are you okay?” Christy waved her hand in front of Katie. “You got awful quiet.”
    “Sorry. My brain just took a little walk. It’s back now. What were we talking about?”
    “You were saying you wanted to buy a car.”
    “Yes, I do. Do you want to go with me?”
    “Sure. Do you know when Rick is available?”
    “Rick? Why?”
    “I thought you would want to include him in the process. It’s a pretty big investment. I mean, if you guys are close to getting
     engaged, collaborating on a decision like a car would seem like a normal thing to do.”
    “I could ask him. I don’t know, though. Last December, when he was looking for a new car, I only went with him on the first
     car-hunting trip. Within the first three minutes, I realized he and his dad saw the experience as a father-son outing. After
     that I didn’t invite myself on any jaunts. He really likes the car he ended up with, which is good, considering how many hours
     he spends living in it now. I miss his Mustang, though.”
    “He still has it, doesn’t he?”
    “Yes. He parked it in his parents’ garage. He doesn’t plan to drive it anymore, though. He told me I could borrow it anytime
     I wanted, but I didn’t ever feel that was right. I was more comfortable borrowing Eli’s or Nicole’s car. Although, I have
     to say, that Mustang has a lot of memories connected to it. I loved that car. It was such a classic. Such a symbol of who
     Rick was in high school, you know?”
    Christy smiled.
    “Yeah, you know. I know you know.” Plopping down her drink, Katie said, “Oh, Christy, the roads you and I have traveled together,
     my friend.”
    “And the many more we have yet to travel… in your new car!”
    “I’m planning to buy a used car.”
    “Still, it will be new to you.” Christy checked the time on her cell phone. “I have to get back to work. Let me know when
     you want to go car hunting, and I’ll go with you. Oh, and Tracy asked me if I would consider babysitting for them. If you
     have time, do you want to come with me?”
    “I could be persuaded.”
    “I’ll take care of Daniel. You can use the time to study. I thought it would be fun for us to drive to Carlsbad together and
     maybe go for a walk on the beach afterward.”
    “That sounds so perfect right now. Especially since the weather is warming up. I would love to go with you. Let me know the
     details, and I’ll check my on-duty hours. I owe Nicole a boatload of hours since she covered for me while I was sick. It’s
     a good thing she’s such a generous woman.”
    Christy rose, gave Katie a quick hug, and returned to the bookstore side of the building.
    Katie took the opportunity to check her cell phone directory. To her surprise, she still had Aunt Marti’s number on her phone.
     It had been there ever since the frenzied
