““Are you warm enough?”“I will be,” she answered, her teeth chattering. “Right now, all of me is numb, even my brain.”He nodded toward the sheriff. “Harlan here says I can drive my truck back to town myself. Do you mind?”“No,” Marie said. “Just be careful, okay?”“I will.” He started to reach for her hand, then stopped, so she tucked it beneath the blanket and he withdrew farther.As he closed the car door, Marie was struck by an immense sense of loss, of loneliness. Had she come to rely so strong...ly on Seth’s sustaining, strong presence that she missed him already, even though he was standing right outside the car? Apparently so.Well, you’d better get used to it, she told herself. All the excitement is over. He has no more reason to hang around and baby you.Although she had known that from the start, the thought still struck her like a dagger in her heart. It was essentially over, wasn’t it?
