Dallas knew that, short of some crazy act of mercy
from the universe, she was hooped. She wasn’t going to see
Quinn again. She’d taken the only shot she had and since that
was a sports analogy, it was easy to see why she’d failed.
She’d always sucked so badly at anything athletic. Apparently
she also sucked a whole list of other important things.
Being a good girlfriend.
Being honest when it counted.
Making the right decision.
Standing up for herself.
Being young and frightened and not wanting to lose
anyone in her life.
Healing the rift when she still could have.
Going about her life like there wasn’t a big, huge
chunk of heart missing.
Lying to herself that she was fine.
Coming back to Topeka.
Trying to make things right because she really did care
about Quinn and she truly was sorry.
Apologizing.
