Chapter Seven

Each time the snow stopped, Jasmine’s heart raced in trepidation. Was this the day that the radio would work and a state trooper would be flying into Old Crow to come get her? The snow would start up again, and she would breathe a sigh of relief. It was one more day with Lucas. One more day she wouldn’t have to face a goodbye. He held her in his arms at night, and his warmth surrounded her. The passion was unfathomable. Women actually felt like this?

It felt decadent. Lucas made her feel so beautiful and naturally sexual that each height of pleasure just made her crave more of him. But each day was counted because it was leading up to a day when they would part ways, and what would happen next? Jasmine had zero clue, except she knew that what she had with Lucas, she didn’t want it to end.

In the short hours of light they ventured outside, Jasmine could hear each time the axe Lucas used to chop wood hit a piece of sawed log. The pile he built up dwindled quickly to keep them warm, so every few days, he restocked the wood that he kept right outside the cabin. A wolf’s howl in the stark winter, with trees devoid of leaves, made her shiver.

They were closer to the cabin each night. Lucas told her when winter got deep, it was survival of the fittest, and a starving wolf would follow the scent of his livestock, hoping for a quick meal. He made sure that all lives on his property were secure, but now he kept a rifle with him at all times, and she wasn’t allowed to venture into the woods any longer.

The bear had terrified her, but the ominous howl of a wolf just seemed more terrifying. They were predatorial hunters who would hide before they struck. A lumbering bear would be much easier to see and dispatch.

Earlier that day, there was an incident with the geese that made Lucas laugh until he sat in the snow to take a breath.

“Hey Lucas, look at all the pretty ducks,” she called to him that morning and pointed to a group of twelve fowls just standing in the snow.

“Honey, those are geese. Leave them alone,” he called back. “They’re probably just resting before they try to keep going south. This group is pretty late.”

“But they look friendly,” she said. “I’m going to go get them some stale bread, for energy.”

“It’s not a good idea...”

She didn’t hear the rest of his words because she went inside to grab the piece of bread that was left from the last loaf. There were two fresh ones already made. Last night she’d helped him and kneaded dough for the first time in her life. Jasmine ripped apart the piece of bread quickly and put it in a bowl before going back outside and approaching the stand of geese. The first handful made them run toward where she threw it eagerly.

“Oh yay, they were hungry,” she said loudly.
