Chapter 16:

When Linsey arrived to pick up Kallie, she radiated energy and enthusiasm. “Babe, let’s hit the golf course. They’ve just opened a new one in the south district, and I’ve got us a membership card!”

Kallie wandered to the edge of the course while waiting. With only two groups playing, the course felt almost private. The other group was a speck in the distance. She swung her club a few times, familiarizing herself with its weight and balance.
