Three hours later,her head was pounding as she drove home. It was now dark and cold outside.
Please let Loki be home when I get there.
She missed him terribly.
Isa hated being alone.
She turned the radio up loud to try and drown out her thoughts. And to keep herself awake.
Her job was in Stepford, which meant she had a forty minute commute each way.
Loki’s four-bedroom log house was isolated and it had the most gorgeous views. Loki liked the quiet and solitude. He wouldn’t be able to cope with close neighbors.
And they wouldn’t cope with his outside bathtub obsession.
Yes, he liked to bathe outside.
No, he didn’t wear anything. At all.
Isa didn’t mind living in the middle of nowhere when Loki was there with her. But being out here on her own was something she’d never really gotten used to.
Lights shone from behind her. When her vision cleared, she watched a car approaching in the rearview mirror.
“Shit, they’re going fast.”
Nerves filled her.
She inched up her speed, but she was already going ten miles over the speed limit.
She loved speed. And fast cars. If Loki had let her get the car she’d wanted to buy, she could’ve easily gotten away from this dick behind her.
Instead, he’d made her buy this ultra-safe, ultra-boring SUV. He’d told her it would be safer for her to drive it in snowy conditions. Although when it was really bad, he would always insist on driving her.
The driver swerved out onto the other lane then back in behind her.
What was he doing?
Fear thrummed through her, making her mouth go dry and her heart race. She felt ill. What should she do? Pull over?
But what if that was what the other driver wanted?
She couldn’t lead him to her house, though.
Isa really wished Loki was here right now. Because she was scared out of her mind.
Isa reached over for her handbag. Why hadn’t she grabbed her phone out when she got into the car like Loki was always telling her to do?
Because I’m a freaking idiot. That’s why.
She really needed to start listening to him more.
Finally, she managed to grab her bag. But then the other car swerved out, racing right along next to her. She jolted, knocking her bag off the seat and everything went flying.
Her enormous handbag carried her life in it. There would be stuff everywhere.
Wait. Bluetooth. God, she was an idiot.
