Morgan was all alone out there.

After ten more minutes of riding on the horse, panic set in. She didn’t see any light or even any landmark that could guide her home. She thought about the fire and the man she’d seen earlier around her house. The darkness only fed her fear.

The horse stopped abruptly at the creek bed, pitching Morgan into the river. Morgan stood up, only to be knocked down by a torrent of water. A hand grabbed her arm and pulled her toward the shore. Fear sank in like the teeth of a lion.

“Leave me alone.” She hit the rider’s chest hard.

The rider released her. “Hey, hey.” The voice was Alex’s. He gripped her arms above the elbow.

She was soaked to the bone, but the strength of Alex’s touch and sound of his voice warmed her.

“You were really scared there,” he said.

More than anything she wished she could explain to him why she was so on edge.
