about to have a fight-or-flight reacti<strong>on</strong>. There was a Wawa off to the right, and before she knew what<br />

she<br />

was doing, she was jerkily pulling into the parking lot and driving around to the back near a green<br />

Dumpster.<br />

After she shoved the car into park, she rested her head <strong>on</strong> the steering wheel and let out a pent-up sob.<br />

“Emily?” Isaac said, c<strong>on</strong>cerned. “What is it?”<br />

Tears blurred her visi<strong>on</strong>. As much as she didn’t want to say this, she knew she had to. She turned the<br />

blue<br />

ring he’d given her the other day around her finger. “It’s…your mom.”<br />

Isaac traced figure eights <strong>on</strong> her back. “What about my mom?”<br />

Emily ran her palms al<strong>on</strong>g the legs of her jeans, heaving a sigh. Just be h<strong>on</strong>est, Carolyn had said. She<br />

could<br />

be h<strong>on</strong>est with Isaac, couldn’t she?<br />

I was overreacting. I didn’t want to say anything. But then, last night, I was at Applebee’s with Carolyn.<br />

And…your mom was there. She came up to me and said I could never come over to your house ever<br />

again.”<br />

Her voice broke <strong>on</strong> the word again.<br />

The car was silent. Emily squeezed her eyes shut. She felt awful and relieved at the same time. It was a<br />

weight off her shoulders to say it out loud.<br />

Finally, she looked at Isaac. His nose wrinkled, as if he had smelled something rancid from the Dumpster.<br />

A<br />

new worry filled her. What if this ruined Isaac’s relati<strong>on</strong>ship with his mom for good?
