Sunni took in a deep breath as Ava began to talk. 'When I was a kid, I loved him so totally. So absolutely. I thought he was the strongest man in the world. But I know he doesn't believe in the dream my mom and Maski are chasing. He's just too weak to stand up to them.'

'Maybe he just loves your mom,' Sunni shrugged. 'Loves her too much.'

'Loves her more than me,' Ava said. The words tasted like foul puke in her mouth. 'Whatever. I still miss him.'

'Life's so fragile, isn't it? You just kind of go through life thinking everything's cool, and that it's all forever. But then…'

'I know,' Ava said. 'But we'll find him, Sunni. We'll get him back.'

Sunni nodded, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. 'Okay, I'm cool. Here we go,' she said, nudging Ava's arm. 'Sunni driver on the loose.'
