Chapter One:

The last time my mom saw Dominic Toretto was after Vince was airlifted. I’ve never seen him personally but I’ve always felt like he was close by…like we’d been face to face before and I didn’t even know it.

From the time I was born til I was nearly fifteen years old, one of the boys who’d run with my father was in the house and by the time I was thirteen, I was working in a garage my mother owned.

It was one o’clock in the afternoon, three days into spring break; and the garage was silent except for the steady hum of the fans. I was sitting on the counter in the front of the shop with a crossword puzzle when the sound of an engine pulled me back to the real world.

“Is Vince around?”

I heard the sarcastic answer in my mind but all I could do was gawk.

“Nope. He’s out with my mom an’ Leon at lunch. Wasn’ hungry so I stayed here…” I say finally. “How d’you know ‘im anyway? Never seen you b’fore or heard him talk about you.”

Yet I felt like I’d known him my whole life.

The phone rang in the office. The stranger followed, to my surprise. It was my mother…

“Hey, Ma…”

“We’re on our way back now. Everything a’right?” I glanced at the man standing in the doorway.

“Yeah…’s all peachy. Ask V if he was expectin’ somebody lookin’ like the got-damn hulk t’ drop by.” There was a brief muffled discussion before she spoke again.

“Coyote says ain’ nobody nowhere comin’ to see him anytime soon.” She was silent for a minute. “Put him on the phone.”

“Mom, are you…”

“Austin, just do it.” I sighed and handed the phone to the guy.

“My mom; for you.”

I left the office and he closed the door after me so I don’t know what was said, but in under half an hour, Leon, V and my mother were back in the lot at the garage. She blew past me and stormed into the office.

“Leon, what the hell’s goin’ on?” He shrugged.

“Wouldn’ say…hauled ass outta the diner like mia had an extra head.”

In the office, my mom was having words with the visitor.

“I had to see this for myself.” Letty said, closing the door and leaning against it.

“You look good, Lett…really good.” Letty snorted in response, all too familiar with the ‘charming’ Dominic Toretto.

“I don’t know if I should kiss you or knock you on your sorry ass.” She moved to swing at him, but he caught both her arms, pinning them against the wall, above her head.

“I don’t know what you’re afraid of, Letty. I’ve never laid a hand on you and you know in your heart that I never would.” Dom said, his voice gravelly as his grip on her lessened.

Letty could feel herself slowly breaking.

“You might as wellhave ripped my heart out when you took off after the heist. You’re lucky Vince still has his arm, Dominic! But you know what? We’re better off now than we ever were when you were here.” Vince nearly knocked the door down when he came in.

“You need to get the hell outta here before I do somethin’ I’ll regret. Don’t make me drag you out, Toretto.” He was basically foaming at the mouth.

Leon herded me into the back room and out of this Toretto person’s sight. As we passed the office after he’d left, I saw my mom—the strongest person I’d ever known—on the verge of breaking down as Vince held her in his arms.

I pushed Leon off of me and stormed into the office.

“Vince, ya look like you need a good brawl. Go have at it with the bastard that made my mama cry.” He was about to question me. I could see it. “NOW, V!” I closed the door and sat down next to Letty. “¿ Que pasa, Mami?”

“Don’t ever fall in love, mija…it’ll break your heart every time.” I laughed, kinda half heartedly.

“Odd, I thought I’d met all the old boyfriends, Mami…” Letty rolled her eyes and sniffled.

“All of them ‘cept the one that actually mattered.”

“If it’ll make you feel any better, I can get someone to do somethin’ evil to Johnny?”

“Austin…Mia’s on probation as it is and I’m running outta favors like I ran through NOS tanks.”

“It’ll be cruel but completely 1000% legal?” She shook her head. “Hey, you can’t blame a bitch for tryin’, Ma. Do you wanna tell me who he was?”

“Only man I’ve ever really loved…I see him in you sometimes…even in tiny things…”
