It took almost an hour for the storm to clear and not wanting to take any chances, Georgia gave it a good ten minutes to make sure it had stopped raining before she got out of the car. She grabbed her bag, locked up her car and started the long walk back up the hill, trying not to slip over on the muddy driveway.

Just as she made it to the last bend, the skies opened up again.

“Just bloody perfect,” Georgia mumbled, as she broke out into a jog.

Relief flooded through her when she spotted the cottage through the gloom, but it was short-lived as her foot stuck in a puddle of thick mud, sending her tumbling to the ground. She lay there for a moment, almost too shocked to do anything.

She pushed herself up off the ground and when she finally trudged into the shed, she was soaking wet, covered in mud, and freezing cold. She wiped her hands on a rag and pulled her phone from her bag, making sure it was still dry and checking for a signal. She had one bar. Maybe enough for a phone call if she stood still enough. Against her better judgement, she dialled Zoe’s number first but got voice mail. She left a voice message but the signal dropped out before she could finish it. She called Jennings Construction’s office number, but it rang out too.

In desperation, she called Ren, but it dropped out when Ren picked up. She wanted to throw her phone across the room, but took a deep breath to calm herself. Her phone dinged. It was a message from Ren.

Did you butt dial me?

She could get messages at least, which meant she could send them. She tried to think of a way to tell Ren what had happened without worrying her. She settled on Ph signal bad Stuck at cottage Can Rick call Jack Jennings to get someone to come get me?

Ren text back almost immediately. Why are you stuck at the cottage? What’s happened?

Georgia replied I’m fine Just need a lift that’s all. She hoped Ren wouldn’t ask any more questions.

Ren sent back Rick calling Jack now What’s going on?

Georgia didn’t want to get into it right now, so she replied Will call you later

Ren text back You better Jack sending someone to come get you.

Georgia smiled in spite of herself and her situation and text Ren back. Thanks xx

She unfolded a camp chair and looked around for something dry she could wrap herself in. The chill was starting to set in, and rain was falling steadily outside. She spied the painting drop sheet she’d been using earlier. She flicked it out and then pulled it around herself and sat on the camp chair. The only thing she could do now was to wait for whoever Jack had organised to come and get her.
