Deliverance at Cardwell Ranch

Deliverance at Cardwell Ranch
B.J. Daniels

“I’m not going anywhere. I’m a man of my word.”

She met his gaze. “Somehow I knew that.”

“No matter how long it takes, I’m not leaving you.” Austin knew even as he made the promise that there would be hell to pay with his family. She started to turn away.

“One more thing,” he said. “Did your sister have a key to this house?”

“No.” Realization dawned on her expression. She shivered.

“Then there is nothing to worry about,” he said. “Try to get some sleep.”

“You, too.”

He knew that wouldn’t be easy. An electricity seemed to spark in the air between them. They’d been through so much together already. He didn’t dare imagine what tomorrow would bring.

Snow fell in a wall of white, giving Austin Cardwell only glimpses of the winding highway in front of him. He’d already slowed to a crawl as visibility worsened. Now on the radio, he heard that Highway 191 through the Gallatin Canyon—the very one he was on—was closed to all but emergency traffic.

“One-ninety-one from West Yellowstone to Bozeman is closed due to several accidents including a semi rollover that has blocked the highway near Big Sky. Another accident near West Yellowstone has also caused problems there. Travelers are advised to wait out the storm.”
