“Yes! Aurora is amazing—she plays violin, she’s great at all kinds of extreme sports, and she can even race cars… She looks so cool behind the wheel!”

Rachel latched onto that detail, her voice suddenly stern. “Keen, you’re not well. You can’t be doing strenuous things like that—especially racing. It’s dangerous.”
