it gets broken again, I don’t know what I’ll do. Please be with me, Father. I’m confused, and I need your guidance.” She ended her prayer when she got to the pit where everybody was standing.
Jeremiah saw her and waved her over to where he was standing with a small group of people. “What’s going on, beautiful?”
“Just taking a walk. What’s going on here?”
“Giving a few people a chance to take a ride around the track to experience what I do every week.”
“People pay to do this?”
“Yes. They love it. Many say it’s the coolest thing they have ever done.”
“Really? Bryan and the gang tried to get me to do this this morning, but I chickened out. They sprung it on me all of a sudden and scared me. I promised to think about it.”
“You should. It’s really cool, and it will really help you to understand what Bryan and I do.”
“That’s what they said.”
“It’s true. I’m here to take some of my sponsors’ bigwigs around the track. I’ll take you too, if you want.”
“No, thank you. I’m not ready yet. But can I hang out here and watch?”
“Certainly. Let me help you over the wall, and you can sit here and watch for as long as you like.”
“Thanks.” Dawn offered her hand to Jeremiah, and he helped her over the wall. While he had her hand, he pulled her against him and stole a quick kiss. “Jeremiah, people are watching.”
“There’s nothing wrong with two people who like each other a lot doing a little kissing,” he said as he dipped his head for another quick kiss, but Dawn ducked her head away.
“Later,” she told him teasingly.
“Promise?” he teased back. Before Dawn could answer, someone from the group yelled at Jeremiah and motioned for him to join them. “We’ll talk later,” he said before he jogged over to the group. Dawn sat on the pit wall and watched all the activity. Jeremiah shook hands with everyone and then started getting ready. He was already wearing his fire suit. He put on his gloves and the other protective gear. Then he grabbed his helmet and climbed into the car while a petite redhead got in on the other side. Dawn could see that they made small talk for a couple of minutes before Jeremiah put on his helmet. He looked over at Dawn and gave her a wave. She wished she could see his eyes. She had a feeling that he winked at her. Then he started the car, and it began to roll off pit road. Dawn watched as they made a slow lap around the track at highway speed. As they came out of turn 4, the car started to speed up. The start/finish line was only a few yards away, and they passed it so fast. Dawn heard someone tell Jeremiah over the radio that he was up to 125 mph. Unbelievable. Dawn watched as they made two laps. She was sure they had gone even faster than 125, but she never heard anyone say. The next thing Dawn knew, the car pulled back into pit lane. When the car stopped, the redhead got out of the car, jumped up and down several times, and finally yelled at the top of her lungs. Then she ran around the car, leaned into Jeremiah’s window, and gave him a big bear hug. After that, she ran over to the group and started to tell them all about her experience. She eagerly encouraged the next person to take their turn. After the initial excitement wore off, Dawn approached the lady.
“Hi. You don’t know me, but my name is Dawn Montgomery. I work for Bryan Richardson,” she explained. “Bryan and his crew are trying to convince me to do what you just did. Can I ask you about it?”
“You should do it. You really should,” The woman answered. “It was by far the coolest thing I have ever done in my life,” the woman said, still out of breath.
“Were you scared?”
“A little at first, but before we ever got started, Jeremiah assured me that he wouldn’t do anything I didn’t want him to do. He talked to me through the whole ride. He kept asking me if I was okay and if it was okay for him to go a little faster. He really
