Her car was g<strong>on</strong>e.<br />

The spot where she normally parked the little Mercedes coupe was empty. But Spencer had parked it<br />

here a<br />

few hours ago after school. Had she forgotten to turn <strong>on</strong> the alarm? Had some<strong>on</strong>e stolen it? A?<br />

She sprinted back to the kitchen. Mrs. Hastings was standing by the stove, putting some veggies in a big<br />

soup pot. Mr. Hastings was pouring himself a glass of Malbec. “My car is g<strong>on</strong>e,” Spencer bleated. “I think<br />

some<strong>on</strong>e stole it.”<br />

Mr. Hastings kept calmly pouring. Mrs. Hastings pulled out a plastic cutting board, not even flinching.<br />

“No<br />

<strong>on</strong>e stole it,” she said.<br />

Spencer stopped. She gripped the edge of the kitchen island. “How do you know no <strong>on</strong>e stole it?”<br />

Her mother’s mouth was pursed, as if she was sucking <strong>on</strong> something sour. Her black T-shirt pulled tightly<br />

gas<br />

guzzler! It’s way more efficient than Melissa’s SUV!” She turned to her dad. He was still ignoring her,<br />

savoring<br />

his wine. Didn’t he care at all?<br />

Enraged, Spencer grabbed his wrist. “Do you have anything to say?”<br />

“Spencer,” Mr. Hastings said in an even voice, wrenching his hand away. The spicy smell of red wine<br />

filled<br />

Spencer’s nose. “You’re being dramatic. We’ve been talking about turning in your car for a l<strong>on</strong>g time,<br />

remember?
