Introduction:
Following a heated argument with her boyfriend, Shannon is on her way home when her car begins to swerve from the beating rain. Forced to turn off onto a country road that quickly turns to mud, Shannon soon finds herself in a ditch surrounded by rising water. A loud tapping on Shannon’s car window brings her face to face with an unlikely rescuer.
A Cowboy’s Touch:
Shannon heard her car begin to sputter and she begged it to keep going.
“Come on, baby. You can do it.”
When her car began to swerve to the left, Shannon knew she had to turn off of the main road. It was raining hard as she turned onto the rough country road. Not knowing if the road would turn to mud, she drove faster. She had no idea where she was, but she couldn’t be too far from where her aunt and uncle lived. The rain beat down harder and then Shannon could feel it slamming against her car windows. Then she realized that this road did turn to mud when it rained.
Shannon no longer knew if she were in the road or the ditch, and then her car spun around and came to a complete stop at the bottom of the deep ditch.
“Crap,” she said.
There was no way she was getting out of here without help. She had been in such a hurry to leave her boyfriend’s house that she had forgotten her cell phone. He had been drinking again and when he drank, he became mean. Shannon looked in the rearview mirror at the bruise underneath her right eye.
“That is definitely going to show.”
She quickly put some powder on her face underneath her eye, but it only seemed to make it worse.
“I’ll worry about that later. I have to get out of here somehow.”
Shannon looked around, but could see nothing other than the pouring rain. Shannon had turned to retrieve something from her purse when the loud tapping on her car window scared the crap out of her. She turned and quickly locked her door.
“Who are you?” she demanded.
“Let me in, Shannon. It’s Dan.”
What a relief. Danny could pull her out of the ditch. Shannon unlocked her car door, and Dan climbed in beside her.
“What the hell are you doing out here?”
Thinking up a quick lie, Shannon said, “I got lost, and my car started having problems.”
“How in the hell could you get lost out here? You know the folks live down this road, and you know that I don’t live very far from them.”
“I know, but my car stalled, and it’s raining.”
“Look at me, Shannon.”
Shannon slowly looked up into Dan’s eyes. She knew she couldn’t hide her black eye from him. He gently wiped the powder from Shannon’s face with his thumb.
“Oww.”
“Whose masterpiece is that?”
Pretending that she had no idea what Dan was referring to, Shannon looked in the mirror.
“Oh, I don’t know. I guess I must have hit my head when my car hit the ditch.”
“Do I look like a fool, Shannon? Do I have stupid written across my face? You got that black eye from him. What’s it going to take, Shannon? Does he have to kill you before you leave him?”
Shannon looked down, ashamed. “No,” she mumbled.
“Come on. I’ll take you to my place. Can’t get your car out tonight, anyway. And if we don’t get going soon, we’ll be sleeping in your car tonight.”
Shannon slid over to the edge of the car seat while Dan was opening the door to his truck.
“Shannon, what are waiting for?”
“It’s too far across.”
“Oh, you big baby.” Dan picked Shannon up into his arms and swung her around and into his truck.
“My Prince,” she remarked.
“You wish.”
The tires spun several times before Dan was able to drive his truck out of the big ditch.
