Chapter 42 : Stuck in the Snow

Ethan

My heart pounded in my chest as I hit the accelerator. The truck moved forward a foot or two, allowing hope to surge in my breast.

The truck’s wheels struggled to gain purchase in the ever-deepening snow. The traction control alarm on the dash flashed on and off as we slowed to a stop.

“Come on, come on!”

We slid back into the ditch. I grimaced as I looked out the window.

“Did we make any progress at all?”

Mila glanced over at me.

“I think we’re actually a foot deeper in the ditch.”

I pounded my fist on the steering wheel and growled.

“When it’s not snowing, this is the tiniest, gentlest little drainage ditch. Now it’s an impassable barrier we need a Monster fucking truck to overcome.”

“Calm down, how bad can it be?”

I looked over at Mila. My heart raced for a whole different reason now.

God, she’s so lovely.

“How bad could it be?”

I shrugged.
