The next morning, Seth woke up at 4 a.m., ready to get started on his next load. But when he got to the dispatch center, he learned that all of the trucks were parked for the day. The weather forecast included a severe blizzard right along the ice road route, and the higher ups had decided it wasn’t safe for anyone to run loads that day.

Lest Seth worry that he would have nothing to do on his unplanned day off, the dispatcher let him know that he needed to fill out an accident report to assist with the investigation of Chloe’s moose collision.

“Don’t worry, you’re not in trouble or anything,” the dispatcher hastily assured him. “But for insurance purposes they’d like a witness statement from you to either confirm or contradict Chloe’s story. You know those insurance companies are always looking for a reason not to pay.”

Seth nodded slightly, then ventured to ask about Chloe. “How is she, by the way?”

“Chloe? She’s okay, I guess. Medical checked her out and kept her at the hospital for overnight observation. Seems like they want to make sure she doesn’t have any latent concussion symptoms or something like that. She seemed pretty upset when she reported back here last night. It was hard to get her to really talk about what happened.”

“I imagine it was not her best day ever,” Seth said, trying to keep his tone light. But he secretly wondered whether part of her bad mood had been the way he kicked her out of his truck as soon as they got back. It had been kind of an asshole move. But he had needed to get away from her as soon as possible. He hadn’t been able to handle the feelings she was stirring up inside of him.

Seth took the accident report and a clipboard from the dispatcher and sat in one of the rickety chairs in the office to fill it out.

“You don’t have to fill it our right this minute,” the dispatcher said. “You can always take it to your room and bring it back later, after you’ve had time to complete it.”

Seth shrugged without looking up from the form. “I’ve got time now. Might as well get it done,” he said. “I hope this damn storm blows over quickly so I can get back to work.”

“Don’t worry,” the dispatcher said. “It happens now and then, but these blizzards usually blow over quickly.”

Seth bristled when he heard the dispatcher say “blizzard.” He had purposely avoided using the word, but others had no idea what kinds of bad associations it stirred up in his minds. He finished the form as quickly as he could, and then handed it wordlessly back to the dispatcher before leaving the office.

He shivered as he stepped out into the cold. Despite his warm layers of clothing and his parka, he still felt the chill. This kind of weather was something you never fully got used to. You just learned to cope the best you could.
