“Damn!”

Chloe cursed as she felt the pull on her steering wheel, knowing her tire was either flat or getting there fast.

She slowed on the desolate two-lane highway that led out of town and to Walker Ranch, pissed at herself because she knew she was going to have to call Gabe. She’d had a flat awhile back, and hadn’t bothered to replace the spare tire. She’d lost one of her rims and the tire when she’d been out searching for Ellie, and replacing it had slipped her mind entirely.

I’ll get a lecture from Gabe.

Chloe smiled, knowing it wouldn’t be a scolding, but more of a diatribe on how she had to look after her safety. Gabe worried more about her than how she behaved. From now on, he’d check her truck regularly, and probably blame himself because he hadn’t done it before.

Only Gabe would blame himself for her carelessness.

She slowed the truck carefully and pulled off to the side of the road, getting out of the way of traffic—not that there was much of it at this hour. Once a person got outside of town, the surrounding areas were pretty sparsely populated.

She shut down the vehicle, leaned across the passenger seat, and opened the glove compartment, fumbling for the flashlight.

“Gotcha,” she said in triumph, curling her fingers around the compact light.

Hopping out of the truck, she left the driver door open for extra illumination, and made her way to the front of the vehicle first. The tire on the driver’s side was fine; the one on the passenger side was almost as flat as a pancake.

Chastising herself again for not having a spare, she resigned herself to calling Gabe to come pick her up. She could call Tate. She’d just come from her brother’s house, and she knew he and Lara were still awake. But Gabe was closer, and for some reason he was her number one choice of a person to call when she was in trouble.

It was funny how she’d come to appreciate his support, knowing he’d actually want her to call him. He wouldn’t make her feel like she was a bother, or that she was inconveniencing him at all. In fact, he’d come just because…he cared.

She barely knew how to handle someone like Gabe, but she was learning, and his affection and kindness meant so much to her.

That’s what a normal relationship should be like.

Not having ever had someone normal in her life when it came to men, the difference between her ex and Gabe seemed like a rather startling contrast.

“But it’s so damn good,” Chloe whispered to herself as she moved to the door of her truck and jumped back up into the high seat. She scooped up her cell phone to call Gabe.

The phone only rang once before he answered.

“Chloe. Where are you?” His greeting was abrupt, husky with concern.

“Stranded,” she confessed into the phone. “I have a flat, and I forgot to replace the spare.”

She listened as he started his lecture, smiling because she could hear the telltale signs of him pulling on his boots while he was talking to her.
