title: Last Ride
author: Garlick, Pam
description: Narissa had never been comfortable with her parents' adventures on the back of her father's motorcycle. As far as she was concerned, his ending up in the hospital while on one "run," as they called it, only confirmed she was right. As she drove to the hospital where her father had been taken she had made up her mind she was going to demand they start acting their age and stop riding that bike. Only to her shock that wasn't going to be necessary. When she arrived at the hospital it was to a father weak following surgery, asking her to make his last ride. How could she refuse when it might be the last request he ever made of her? Except she couldn't ride. It seemed her parents had that all figured out. She was supposed to make that trip to Daytona Bike Week on the back of her father's bike with their good friend Tim MacFearson. This was not a trip she wanted to make, but felt she had no choice. She only prayed she could get through in spite of her instant dislike of this leather-clad biker.
