Heartbreaker
“Not just a gentle shower, but a deluge. An icy deluge. Mounted on Hero’s back again, Lynn resigned herself to utter misery. She was wet, cold, saddle sore, grumpy—and to top it off she felt as if she might be coming down with a cold. Her throat tickled, her nose had started to run, and every five minutes or so she gave vent to a mighty sneeze.
Trying to make use of a tissue under such conditions was a waste of time. By the time she extracted one from the wad in her jeans pocket and brought it t...o her nose, the rain had soaked it through.
Finally she gave it up and—yuck!—resorted to swiping at her nose with her sleeve.
Not that that was much help either.
Bounce, thud. Slog, splash. Shiver, quake.
Would the day never end? Would the vacation never end?
Vacation, hah! Lynn thought. It wasn’t a vacation, it was an endurance contest!
At last they took a break, crowding beneath a stone overhang around a small fire Owen lit. Snacks carried in saddlebags were eaten, instant coffee and hot chocolate were drunk.MoreLess
