The Marley Brothers Band was loud, but not so loud their music covered the sickening sound of squealing tires, spitting gravel andhere was the bad partcrunching metal. Carolina Sweetwater whirled around and gasped. The left rear fender of her brand-new PT Cruiser was crushed beneath the front end of a giant, jet-black Hummer. That wasn't all. "Briana, are you all right?" she hollered, and hurried toward the two vehicles, mindless of her three-inch spike heels and the yards of taffeta swirling around her ankles. The Hummer lurched, hissed and then backed slowly away from her car. She reached the Cruiser's driver's-side door at the same moment her niece stepped out. "Aunt Carolina, I'm so sorry." "It's all right." Weak with relief, she hugged the shaking teenager and glanced over her shoulder. The occupants of the Hummer were also climbing out and, like her niece, appeared to be unharmed. "I looked both ways, but I swear I didn't see them." "What matters most is no one was hurt." Now that Carolina had a chance to catch her breath and assess the situation, she realized the only serious casualty of the minor parking lot collision was her car. The SUV had suffered nothing more than a small scratch or two. "Are you okay, young lady?" The driver of the SUV, Major Linc Harrison of the U.S. Army, and his wife, whose name momentarily escaped Carolina, approached. He wore a scowl. Her expression was considerably kinder. "I'm fine," Briana sniffed. "How about you?" Carolina asked. "Are either of you injured?" "In that?" The major's wife rolled her eyes at the Hummer. "Hardly." The major took out his cell phone and punched in a number. "I'm calling nine-one-one." "Is that necessary?" Carolina tried not to let his precision-cut steel-gray hair and crisp dress uniform, the left side of which was completely covered with medals and ribbons and little colored bars, intimidate her. "Can't we just exchange insurance information and phone numbers? My niece and I would really like to get back to the wedding." His reply was to lift the phone to his ear and glower at her. "Dad's going to be really mad, isn't he?" "He won't be happy." Carolina put an arm around her niece and drew her several feet away to the edge of the parking lot. "This is your second accident since you started driving." Technically, Briana wasn't Carolina's niece. Her father and Carolina were cousins, which made her and Briana third cousins or cousins once removed orCalling each other aunt and niece was just a whole lot simpler. "I'm dead," Briana whimpered. "You're not dead. Grounded for sure. And you can forget about driving for a while. Like until college." The teenager burst into fresh tears. "Come on. I was joking," Carolina said, rubbing Briana's back. "Don't worry. I'll handle your dad. This is partly my fault anyway. I'm the one who let you drive my car."
