cleaned it from top to bottom several times, having embraced the nesting stage completely. While Kian had gone into, well, ‘den mode’, fixing things that didn’t need fixing. And generally keeping busy, whilst checking on Alli incessantly. They were driving each other crazy.
“OK,” Melanie said, packing her needle and thread away. I think I’m done. How does it look?”
“Perfect. You have the nimblest fingers Melanie.” Alli admired the finished dress while she drank the rest of her tea. Then she said, “Let’s go. You’re right; no one is going to come in today. The clouds look as though they are going to dump a few feet of snow on us. I think I would rather be home.”
Alli got to her feet, rubbing her back and then waddled to the kitchen to wash the cups up while Melanie swept the floor and tidied up. Then the two women made their way outside, where the first snowflakes were beginning to fall.
“We need to get home fast, if we’re not careful the roads will become impassable,” Alli said.
“Surely not that quick? It’s only just starting,” Melanie replied as they walked to the car. She held Alli’s arm, making sure her sister-in-law stayed on her feet.
“Yes, that quick. I bet Kian is up at the house thinking of organising a rescue party.”
“What if you go into labour tonight and we can’t get you to the hospital?” Melanie asked worriedly.
“Hot water and towels, you will be on midwife duty!”
“I couldn’t.”
“Don’t worry; your brother has delivered enough animals to know what to do.”
“He hasn’t had to deliver his own baby though, do you know how panicked he’ll be.”
They had reached the car and Melanie unlocked it and helped Alli in. “Don’t worry,” Alli said, “I think this baby likes being in the warm too much. I don’t think it’s going to come anytime soon.”
“I hope you’re right,” Melanie said, sliding into her own seat and switching the ignition on. The car turned over and then sparked into life. Melanie waited for the wipers to get rid of the slushy snow, which had already settled on the windscreen, and then pulled out on to the deserted street.
As they drove though Bear Creek, it became obvious that everyone who didn’t need to be out, were inside staying warm. She couldn’t blame them, and as the snow came in thicker flurries, she looked anxiously at Alli and hoped everything would be OK.
Reaching the edge of town, she turned onto the road, which ran along the side of the mountain. The snow was thicker here, and her car slipped on some of the bends. Melanie slowed to a crawl. Her heart rate increasing as her anxiety grew. But she didn’t want to go back to town; she wanted to get Alli home.
Then, out of nowhere, a car came towards them. It skidded in the road, and Melanie swerved to avoid them, over compensating as she hit a drift of snow.
“Melanie!” Alli cried, but it was too late, the car left the road, sliding into a ditch that took the melting water off the mountain. It was dry, but deep, and they hit the bottom with a sickening crunch.
Chapter Two – Taylor
“I will see you in the morning, Taylor.” Trent said. “I don’t think this snow will come to much, it’s more over Bear Creek than here. The mountain seems to have kept it off us, so if you go first thing, you should make the delivery to Cougar Ridge.”
“Sure. I’ll be here.” Taylor locked the cab of his truck and then threw the keys to Trent. “I’m going to go up the mountain. The snow is too inviting. I want to run off the kinks in my back from being sat in the truck all day. See you tomorrow.”
“Don’t be late,” Trent called.
With that, Taylor headed out along the road, which led up into the mountains. He had a compulsion to run until his lungs felt like they were going to burst. An excitement had grown in him all day, he wasn’t sure why. All he knew was it had something to do with Bear Creek, the town on the other side of the
