““I think,to add to the festive occasion, we ought to turn on the lights and siren." He turned to Delia. "What do you say?" "Oh,heavens,no." She covered her mouth with her hand before giving it a second thought. "Sorry.That was the old Delia. The new Delia says yes.That would be so exciting." Beside her,Marilee said sternly, "The old Marilee says you'll be breaking the law." Wyatt winked. "This old rebel says he doesn't care. A celebration requires some noise." The two exchanged a long look, then broke out into peals of laughter. As they sped along the open highway, lights flashing,siren blasting, Delia found herself laughing along with them in absolute delight. Despite all the heartache,and all the turmoil,she was sharing a ride with Coot's grandson, heading out to Coot's ranch for the first time in over fifty years,and having the time of her life.””
