CHAPTER TWO
“A WEEK!” the teacher exclaimed, and John had the
sense she was repeating herself.
Yeah, he’d definitely tuned out.
“But…if the highway department knows we’re
stranded here, surely they’ll plow this far sooner than that.
You can’t possibly have enough food to keep us that long.”
“This is a lodge. I take in paying guests. Since I just
stocked up, we won’t starve.”
“Oh.” She nibbled on a delectable bottom lip, full
enough to make his groin tighten.
Damn. Why her? The subject of women wasn’t
something he’d wasted any time thinking about since
he got out of the VA hospital.
“Do you have any guests right now?” she asked.
John shook his head. “Expected a couple today.
Don’t suppose they’ll make it.”
“So you have enough beds?”
This was a woman who knew how to stick to the
essentials.
“We’ll have to make some up.”
“We can do it. I don’t want to put you out any more
than we have to.”
