"Thanks." "Looks like it's going to storm. Do you want me to drive you?" The hint of concern in his voice tugged at her heartstrings. It would be so easy to say yes but so hard to be trapped in the confines of his truck with him and his wonderful woodsy smell. She'd have to risk it. "I'll be okay." He watched her for what seemed like forever before nodding. "I'll see you later then." She pulled away, got in the golf cart and left before the tears fell down her cheeks. On the drive home, the winds grew stronger and large drops of rain hit her face and arms. As long as the thunder stayed away, she'd be good to go. The loud rumble caused her to jump and she jerked the wheel when she did. The cart slid across the ground and a tree stopped it in its tracks. The impact had her head slamming into the steering wheel hard enough to stun her. More thunder sounded and her whole body shook. She hated storms. If she had just taken Cooper's offer, the cart wouldn't be damaged and she'd be at home safe and sound.
