The Ride Home

‘ALISTAIR’S POV:

Without giving me any warning, she suddenly threw her arms right around my shoulders, pressing her body against mine as her soft lips brushed right against my ear. I had to tilt my head way back just to see the road in. front of us. My view of the dark street was almost completely blocked by her head, but it did not seem to matter much because we were already turning into the long driveway. The familiar tall black gates were sitting just up ahead and open, and the bright porch lights of the main house were shining through the dark trees.

“Take it easy,” I told her, keeping my voice completely calm but firm. “Why are you getting so excited over a stupid video? Just sit back and let me drive the car. We are almost at the front steps-”

Bang!

The front bumper of my car slammed hard into a heavy metal object.

The violent impact shook through the entire frame of the vehicle, throwing my body forward toward the leather steering wheel.
