Maggie had also lost her best friend ...and it was a terrible accident. The thing that makes it most difficult is that it could have been prevented.

Darin was careless, always flirting with danger.  It had always bothered her. What she couldn't figure out ...was that if he cared for her like she cared for him, why would he continue to do it?  But she didn't really fault him.  It was his free spirit that she liked so well.  If only it didn't also include those things that were detrimental to him ...and her.
