Britt didn't go tot the bridge the next two evenings, and though Race missed her, he was grateful for the time alone. He had done nothing but think about his feelings and why he was holding back. Leaning back against the side of the bridge, Racetrack closed his eyes, reliving the other night. Every word, every breath, every kiss was permanently etched in his brain. He never wanted to let her go. "It's not up to you to decide what I deserve..." she had said. Race opened his eyes and sighed. He knew she was right. But he still couldn't' see why she wanted to be with him. Here he was, an orphan with little education. He'd never be able to go to places she would. "If only..." he sighed.

Britt played with her necklace as she watched the sun go down from the fire escape outside her and Ally's room. Sure, the view wasn't as great as it was from the bridge, but she knew Race had to be alone in order to make a decision. She sighed, missing his presence. Being with him made her feel calm and excited at the same time.
From the doorway, Michael watched his younger daughter. She looked just like her mother from the back. With long dark tresses cascading over her shoulders like a waterfall. Quietly he turned and walked into the kitchen, where Ally and David were going over last minute plans for the party the following afternoon.
"Ally?"
"Yes, Papa?" Ally looked up.
"Did Britt and Race have a fight? She hasn't gone to the bridge for two days now."
Ally looked at David, who nodded, giving her a half smile.
Looking back at her father, she told him the whole story. From her and David's conversation with Race to when Britt walked in. Michael listened closely. A sad, almost empathetic look on his face when he heard that Race didn't think deserved Britt. Turning back to the girls room, he watched her again.
Looking out into the horizon, Britt clutched her angel charm. "Mama?" she prayed softly, "I need your help...what should I do?" Suddenly, a ray of light from the setting sun shown done on her. Then a gentle breeze weaved itself around her, whispering: "Follow your heart dear, the answer will always be there. Just like I will." Tears ran down Britt's cheeks and she nodded, "Thank you, Mama."
Grasping the wall, Michael too had tears in his eyes as he struggled not to faint. He had witnessed the whole thing. He felt her presence, as if she were right next to him. "Katherine..." he barely whispered.
"Papa?" Ally asked, concerned, "Are you alright?"
Michael nodded, wiping his eyes, "Your sister had just received guidance from...heavenly authority..."
Ally's eyes widened as her hand immediately went to her star necklace.
Michael smiled and nodded again as Ally ran over to hug him. Hugging her back, he kissed her forehead. "Now I think it's time for Racetrack to receive guidance from someone who was once in his state of mind."
David raised an eyebrow, "Who?"
"Me."
