โAre you all right?โ a female voice called out over the noise of the wind and rain.
Atlas squinted at her flashlight. She lowered the beam. โIโm okay. But my car needs help. Can you call for a tow?โ
She straightened and checked her phone. โThereโs no cell service.โ
They were on their own on this dark stormy night. As though to confirm his thoughts, the whole sky lit up. A crack of thunder shook the ground.
Atlasโs gaze moved to the crop of tall trees surrounding them. This was not a good place to be during an electrical storm. They needed out of there as quickly as possible.
There was another brilliant bolt of lightning followed by a crack of thunder. This storm was sitting right over them.
As though reading his thoughts, she said, โCome on. My car is over there.โ
He hesitated. โI canโt just leave my car.โ
โSure, you can. Itโs not going anywhereโat least not tonight. Are you a guest at the Ludus Resort?โ
โYes.โ
โGood. Letโs go.โ She turned, and in her rush up the embankment she slipped in the mud. She landed on all fours.
โAre you all right?โ
Before he could exit the car, she got to her feet and acknowledged that she was fine. By now she was soaked and muddy from her effort to help him.
With great reluctance, he grabbed his travel bags from the passenger seat and got out of the car. It was raining so hard that he was instantly soaked. As he carefully climbed the embankment, he could feel the rainwater seeping into his shoes. His back teeth ground together. Could this evening get any worse?
Once inside the car, he said, โYou should learn to drive more carefully.โ
She hooked her seat belt. โWhat are you talking about?โ
โYou were driving in the middle of the road.โ
โI was not.โ Her restrained voice failed to mask her indignation. โPerhaps you were driving too fast for the road conditionsโโ
โI was not.โ Was he? He had been distracted. And perhaps he was taking his bad mood out on her.
He sat quietly while she slowly and carefully turned her car around. When she finally had the car straightened on the road, she barely pressed the accelerator. They were never going to reach the resort tonight if she didnโt pick up the speed.
With a huff, he sat there stiffly. He stared straight ahead at the rain pounding the windshield.
