"Slipping onto the freeway, Luke knew he'd likely never see his neighborhood again, least not in the same way. He laughed at himself over how he was bound to get arrested when it was Hodges who should have done the time. But it was liberating."
Tightly woven exciting story, best wishes thanks for sharing.Good one, take care!

Thanks so much for pulling that paragraph out and the mention of it feeling tightly strung together. Appreciated.

Well as much trouble as this is likely to cause for Luke, I guess it did temporarily make him feel better. It certainly scared his neighbor. I'm not sure I understand why his wife chose to blame him for the death of their child and why she chose to put a restraiiing order on him. I'm anxious to see how you work this out.

Appreciate it Beth. There are some explanations that would give the story away too soon, but it will give you answers to what are some good questions!
