Which meant she just didn’t care.
It took Piper ten years after the crash to finish a song about her parents.

He answered on the first ring. “I’ve been waiting for you to call me.”
“I just left you an hour ago, Drew.”
She could practically hear his patented grin. “Yes, but Matt told me you were smart.”
He was right. The smart thing to do, the only thing, was to choose a path that diverged from that ofFate, of Quinn and Ben and Conner.
“I’m in.”
“Really?” He laughed. “I thought you’d say no.”
“Then, why bother asking?”
“Because, Piper Hayes, I want you.” Anyone listening might get the wrong impression about his words, but Piper knew what he meant, and it felt good to be wanted… in the professional sense.
“That’s good because I think I need you.”
His laughter vibrated through the phone. “You have no idea. We’re going to be a good team, Piper Hayes. I’ll have Matt send you the details. Thank you for taking a chance on me.”
Piper could have said the same thing to him as she hung up. The word team sounded good. She’d never been a team with Quinn, only the girl fetching her coffee or keeping things running behind the scenes.
She wiped the remaining tears from her face and dragged her notebook onto her lap. Now, she had something to write about.
Quinn.
