PRESENT DAY, AGE SEVENTEEN
“ORDER UP,” Sal called.
I pushed off the counter and instantly regretted the swift movement. The
bruised muscles on my side and back radiated with pain, and I sucked in a
sharp breath.

Betsy looked up from where she was rolling silverware, her eyes
narrowing. “Everything okay?”
I bit the inside of my cheek to keep my expression neutral and nodded.
“Tweaked my back when I picked up my backpack earlier today.”
She didn’t say anything at first, simply staring at me. But her eyes told
me that she knew I was lying. “You need to take the day off?”
“No.” The single word came too quickly, but it couldn’t be helped. That
panic settled into my bones. I needed every shift I could get if I had a prayer
of freedom once I hit eighteen.
I squeezed my eyes closed for a moment, picturing that freedom. The
images I conjured up got me through my darkest times. Those, and my
memories of Colt. Even just speaking his name in my mind made pain flare
to life in my chest.
His absence was just as raw now as it had been eight years ago. No, it
was worse. As if time had intensified that burn of his loss.
I swallowed it all down and opened my eyes to reality. The diner that
smelled of greasy food. The sweat that had gathered on the back of my neck
from barely stopping for the past few hours. The pain that swirled through
my torso.
I forced my feet to move toward the server window. Sal met my gaze
through the opening. “On the left, girl.”
He’d called me “girl” since my first day here, over three years ago. As
though if he didn’t use my name, he wouldn’t have to put the energy into
caring about me.
“Thanks, Sal.” I always used his name. As if I were fighting back with
each single syllable.
He grunted, shoving the plates closer to me.
I took the burger and the patty melt, the weight making those muscles
along my back protest, and I started toward table three.
