       Loneliness could drive a person to do some crazy things.

      She swallowed a sigh.

      “What do you have to lose?” Tristan asked.

      Nothing. Jayne’s shoulders had started to sag, but she squared them instead. She’d already lost everything.

      Her fiancé, her trust, her hope, her three best friends.

      Life had become one lonely hour followed by another. She rarely left the house, and when she did she couldn’t wait to get home.

      Just like her mother.

      The unsettling realization made Jayne straighten.

      Her mother had stuck close to home after her father had left. She’d gone to work, the store, and occasionally to church. She hadn’t even wanted to go to the doctor’s office when she’d started feeling poorly, and because of that she’d ended up dying way too soon.

      Jayne didn’t want that to happen to her.

      Something had to change. She had to change. Now.

      Maybe one small step—one short hike—would start her on a new road…a path toward the life she wanted to live, not the one she was living. Even if the hike was with the last person, next to Rich, she wanted to spend time with.

      “You’re right,” she said finally. “A hike will do me good.”
