.Prim shuddered and pushed her silliness aside.When she realized she was still sitting in the middle of the road, she glanced in her rearview mirror and sighed with relief when she saw no other cars coming up behind her.She unwound her window and inhaled the wonderful scents of the trees and tried to calm her racing heart.The sage-and-pine scent surrounded her and she started to relax.It was only as she put the gear stick back in first that she noticed her car motor wasn’t running.She turned the ignition key and muttered under her breath when all she heard was a click, and tried three more times before giving up.Prim slammed her hand down on the steering wheel and then yelped when pain radiated through her palm.She was on her way to see her friend Melissa Aerth, and now she had no idea what to do.She was looking forward to seeing Mel, since she hadn’t seen her best friend for six months.She missed her so much and was looking forward to meeting her husband, but at the moment, she was frustrated beyond words.She was considered an enigma by her work colleagues since she hated technology, and even though she had a cell phone and a laptop, she had trouble understanding the concept of how everything worked.Not that it really mattered.As long as she knew how to use the programs she needed to, she didn’t care about all the other stuff.She was considered an anomaly because of her technophobia, but she wasn’t worried about what other people thought of her.With a sigh of resignation, she realized that she was going to have to try and push her car to the side of the road.That was going to be damned hard since she had no one to help her, but there was nothing for it.She released and removed her seat belt, opened her car door, and stood just outside the driver’s door, thinking she was most likely going to put her back out or pull some muscles doing this, but she needed to get her car out of the road.After making sure the gear stick was in neutral, she half bent and held onto the steering wheel with one hand so she could steer her car, and began pushing.The open car doorframe bit into her shoulder as she used her legs and body weight to get her vehicle rolling, and she was pleasantly surprised when it began to move.By the time she got her vehicle onto the shoulder of the road, she was panting and sweating and her muscles were shaking with fatigue, but she was also triumphant because she had managed to move her car by herself, without help from anyone.She sank down into the driver’s seat and got her breath back.After a few moments, she rummaged in her purse for her cell phone and stared at the display with incredulousness.Why the hell were there still shitty reception areas where cell phones were concerned? With the way technology was progressing at such a fast rate—and leaving her way behind since most of it bamboozled her—how could there still be dead zones where reception was concerned? There wasn’t one single bar on her phone and Prim wondered what the hell she was supposed to do now.There were only a couple of hours of light left and if she couldn’t contact Mel and get some help, she was going to have to spend the night in her car.She could just imagine how cold and uncomfortable that would be, since she wasn’t into camping or roughing it.Prim liked her creature comforts and didn’t even want to think about relieving herself behind a tree.She wasn’t a snob—kindergarten teacher wages wouldn’t let her be, not that she wanted to be anyway—but she liked being able to use the modern conveniences even if she didn’t understand them all.Now that her muscles weren’t quivering with fatigue and aching so much and she had her breath back, she decided the only course of action was to start walking.She loved going for walks, but only if she knew her destination or was familiar with the area, but she couldn’t see another way around it.Hopefully she wouldn’t have to walk too far before she could use her phone and call Mel for help, but she definitely wasn’t going to hold her breath.Prim sighed and got out, and then locked the door of her vehicle after closing it and set off in the direction she had been driving.She kept her cell phone in her hand and glanced at the screen periodically, and hoped that she would soon have at least one bar on her phone so she could call her friend.Deciding that an hour of walking was her limit and that she would turn back to her car if she wasn’t able to make a call and pass the night hours locked within it safe away from wolves and any other animal she may encounter, she picked up her pace.She was only about a hundred yards from her car when she heard rustling in the trees and fallen foliage just beyond the side of the road.Prim stopped walking and looked around, but she couldn’t see anything or anyone.She put it down to small animals scurrying in the undergrowth and started walking again.When she heard more crunching and crackling, which sounded like it was being made by a larger animal or maybe a human, she stopped once more and stared hard in between the trees.She gasped when she saw golden eyes shining at her and her heart flipped in her chest, and then raced hard as the flight-or-fight sensations took over [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
