The Immortal Game (Book 1)
“An ancient crack ran along the windshield’s lower edge and rips in the plastic seats let yellow foam show through. The truck had been Ruby’s father’s. Ruby and the nannies that cared for her when she was young had what they needed in the city, but when her father was home between trips to war-torn countries he liked to go camping. She could almost smell the faint woody scent of campfire on the upholstery.
She distracted herself from these memories by watching Ash fold himself into the small spa...ce next to her. His head brushed the ceiling. His knees jutted up in the gap between him and the dashboard, which was also beginning to crack, she realized.
There was a loud screech from the engine as she started it. She quickly threw it into gear to silence the loose belt, but Ash didn’t notice the sound. The dark circles and the redness in his eyes from the headache were gone. Now there was nothing but eager excitement there.
There were no roadblocks or traffic as Ash directed her to drive out of the city and up into the mountains.MoreLess
