Excerpt:

It was past sunset. Streaks from the last rays of the sun caught on the clouds, like a woman’s pink-tinged cloak. The bare trees on the roadside tangled in the wind, dark in contrast against the sky. A cold snap was in the forecast. Thanksgiving eve. And there he was, broken down on the way home.

The truck had started sputtering three minutes into the drive. He should have turned back to the shop, but he figured he could make it home. Less than ten minutes later, the truck engine had died completely. He stood beside the open hood, his hands jammed into his jeans pockets. He was too tired to be angry or frustrated. It was what it was and if he hadn’t been so prideful earlier in the shop, Chuck could have diagnosed the minute sound he had heard, which had obviously been a larger issue.

Dash saw lights bounce against the trees and a car turned down the tiny side road. He shielded his eyes as it approached and pulled behind the truck on the shoulder of the road. The lights remained on, blinding him as he heard the driver’s door open.

“I told ya’, Dash,” a breathy female voice said, mimicking his own from when he had rescued Jaycee that fateful hot July day month’s earlier.

She walked in front of the headlights, her silhouette swaying slowly. She drew closer and he saw her gentle smile.

“My hero,” he said, reaching through the glare and wrapping his arms around her as she stepped into his embrace.

“Oh, Dash. I’ve been such a fool.”

“Have you now?” He felt a well-spring of joy spring up from his heart. He rested his chin atop her head “I hadn’t noticed.”
