Chapter Fourteen

Miles braced himself in the backseat, cursing his poor lack of judgment for letting Zoe behind the wheel. He knew better than that. Her driving history was proof. She spooked easily behind the wheel and drove as if her life depended on getting where she was going as quickly as possible. If he ever made it back to base camp in one piece, he’d never let her drive him anywhere again. Ever.

Even without her driving, they were incompatible for a road trip of any length. Always had been, always would be. They’d been forced into a few road trips as children and the hours in the car, sharing a backseat had always been grueling. Torturous.

“I can’t believe I let you have the keys,” Miles griped as his seatbelt tightened. If she slammed on the breaks one more time, he was going to lose his mind. And possibly the granola bar he’d gulped down at lunch.

“Stop your backseat driving,” Zoe snapped.

“I’m not sure what you’re doing is called driving so how could I possibly be commenting on it?”

“Just because you’re a pansy behind the wheel, doesn’t mean I am. Besides, if you want to get to the finish line before the check-in time cut off, then we need to hurry the hell up.”

“True, but I’d still prefer to get there alive.”

Zoe didn’t respond. Probably just as well. Her snotty comments would only succeed in getting them into yet another argument. And distracting Zoe while she drove like a complete maniac would only make the entire situation more dangerous.

Nope. He’d sit back and pray.

Then after they were safely checked in at base camp, he’d pull Zoe aside and give her a piece of his mind. Not that it would make any difference. She never listened to a thing he said anyway. But it would make him feel better to get his aggravation with her off his chest.

He leaned back and closed his eyes. Maybe if he didn’t look, they would magically transport themselves to base camp and he could stop staring down the freeway of death from the backseat. Yes, eyes closed were better.

Miles let his mind wander out of the game and over to Paige in the other SUV with Ben. He’d had an awesome day with her, driving in comfortable silence or chatting about the game while hunting caches all day. He would have much preferred being in her SUV for the return trip too if they hadn’t been in such a rush after the last cache and jumped into the wrong trucks. He’d thought for sure he’d slipped into the backseat of the one Paige had revved the engine of, but sadly no.

“I think it might be time to tell Paige the truth about us,” he said, trying to take his mind off the car ride from hell.

“About time. It’s really not that big a deal.”

“Not to you, but you’re not the one who gets picked on by the tall bitchy blonde girl all the time.
