Excerpt
“What’s
going on here? Where the hell are my pants?”
Elizabeth
practically jumped out of her skin. Steve stood in the bedroom doorway, wearing
only some tight fitting pink sweats.
“I found you after your car went nose to nose
with a tree.” She crossed her arms. “The question is, what were you doing up here in a snowstorm? Were you coming up here
to spy on me?”
“Jesus, my head hurts.” Steve groaned and sat at the kitchen table. “And don’t
flatter yourself.” He brought up his hands to rub his eyes and push on his
temples. He started to say something when a giggle and a round of
undistinguishable sounds caught his attention. Steve stared at the little girl,
a whisper of a smile on his pale face. “You have a daughter?”
She chose to ignore the question. “Again, Mr. York, you were headed…where?”
“I was going to see some friends in Granby,
then on to Steamboat to spend the holidays with my family.”
“You figured on taking a short cut on Badger
Springs Road?”
“Basically,” he muttered. “I had a phone in my pants pocket…” Steve looked down
at the pink sweats. “Yours, I presume?” At her nod, he asked with a smirk, “And
you’re the one that took my clothes off?”
“Junior, my neighbor.”
“If you’ll allow me to use your phone, I’ll call Triple A and get myself and my
car out of your life.” He reached over to Katy and she latched onto his finger,
the brightest smile ever illuminating her sweet face.
Elizabeth
quickly picked her up, as if he would contaminate her by his touch.
“Phones are out.”
“Internet?”
“Nope.”
“How the hell do you live here?” he asked irritably.
