“Inside. All of you. Call Duke. Tell him what happened. I’ll go get my car. You’re too cold to walk that far now.”
“Do I have to call him?” Sunny whined.
The Fox sent her a look.
“Well. I’m toast.”

DUKE AND SUNNY
“I’m so sorry, Sunny,” Brody whispered to her as they entered the house.
She sighed. “It’s not your fault.”
“Kind of is, though.”
Sunny reached out and took his hand. “Please don’t worry. It was my decision to take Duke’s truck. And it was also my decision not to tell him where I was going. So now it’s my butt that’s going to bear the consequences.”
“I’m not sure that any of us are going to sit comfortably tomorrow,” Autumn said with a wry grin.
“I should have realized that the Fox would know we’d left,” Brody groaned.
Yep. They all should have. The Fox was nothing if not protective of all three of them.
Sunny dug out her phone. It was a bit warmer in the house, but still not warm by any stretch. She moved around to keep herself from getting too cold.
And also because she was filled with nervous energy.
“Uh-oh.” She winced as she saw several text messages along with five missed calls from Duke.
She was in serious trouble here.
Taking a deep breath, she hit call on his name and moved further away from Brody and Autumn.
“Sunny, thank fuck,” he exclaimed, having answered on the first ring.
Okay, now she knew how upset he was. Duke tried really hard not to swear in front of her.
“I’m so sorry,” she told him.
“Where are you? Are you all right? I was just about to start calling hospitals. Did you have an accident in the snow, baby?”
“Um.”
“It’s all right if you did. I’m not worried about the truck; I’m only concerned about you. Are you all right? Did you hurt yourself?”
He was such a good guy.
And she was in such trouble.
You deserve it for worrying him.
“I’m fine, Duke. I didn’t have an accident.”
“Then, where are you?”
“Um, see, the thing is . . . I came to have a look at this log cabin.”
