“He’s good. He is with Camila, eating lunch in the kitchen. She helps me a lot with him.”
“I’m glad. Kalum is not such a bad guy after all.”
“Yeah, so far,” I say distractedly.
“I’m sorry, Aura. I don’t think Lane knew the extent his parents would go when he left everything to you.”
“He left it to his son,” I correct.
“You know that is bullshit, right? He loved you so much, Aura. I have never seen Lane so happy. You meant everything to him.”
My throat tightens.
“I know, Dex. But he’s gone,” I say and change the subject. “How’s the shop going?”
“Business is great. We have so many customers coming in. I had to make a waiting list to work on cars and accept deposits. Blaze, in Spencer, says he’s swamped. Every street racer wants a build from Turner’s shop.”
“Sounds great, Dex. Have you heard from Exie?”
Dex and Exie have been dating, but I’m not sure if there is more going on with the way Lane’s family is. I try not to call her phone in case her parents are around. I wouldn’t put it past them to have her phone line tapped.
“She’s good. She wants to see you but has been waiting for the right time. Anyway, I called you because we need to take Lane’s car on the track to get a time after I install his last modification on it.”
Lane was supposed to install a mod to his car, but he never got the chance to do it. It was supposed to be a game changer forthe GT-R. He never made it home, but Dex knows how to install it.
I shrug my shoulders, even if he can’t see me. “Okay. Do it. Get it done.”
“It is done, boss lady. I need you to drive it on the track, Mrs. Turner.”
I swallow. Why me?
“Why can’t you do it?”
“Only you and LJ are allowed to drive that car, and I think LJ is too young at the moment. Ten years is too long to have it sitting there by the time LJ can at least get behind a wheel.”
“No way, Dex.”
“It has to be you, Mrs. Turner,” he teases.
Lane taught me how to drive, but it was for fun. The first couple of times I was on his lap. After a while, he liked me there for other reasons. I have to do this for Lane, but Dex needs to stop calling me Mrs. Turner.
“Fine, I’ll do it,” I tell him.
“Yes,” he says with excitement.
“But Dex?”
“Yeah?”
“You can’t call me Mrs. Turner.”
“What? Why?” he asks confused.
“His family threatened to sue me. They said I’m using their name as a brand to capitalize on it outside of being Lane’s widow.”
“You have got to be shitting me! Those motherfuckers.”
“Tell me about it. I can’t fight them. They have strong influences with good lawyers. I’m okay with being Aura Rayne.”
