Their car began to accelerate down the mountain.
“Slow down, Sergio,” Helen cried.
“I can’t. We have no brakes.”
Inch by inch the SUV picked up speed. The black rocks of the cliffside streaked by as the car shimmied closer and closer to the edge of control.
Sergio downshifted, but the vehicle accelerated anyhow. As the rocks flashed by on either side of the car, he fought to keep to his side of the road. Their speed increased. He pumped the brakes frantically with no response.
“Jump out, Helen, before we’re moving any faster.”
“No.”
“Listen…”
“Stop it, Sergio.” Her words snapped out like the crackle of electricity. “I’m not leaving you, not like I did to your sister.”
Sergio groaned. He’d thought everything between them was about Fiona, but now all he could hold on to was getting Helen safely out. In that moment everything vanished but the need to keep Helen safe…
Dear Reader,
As I write this letter it’s springtime here in Northern California. The graduation season is upon us. I’ve been a teacher for most of my adult life, and graduation is such a significant time as our youngsters step out into their next phase. It’s a frightening prospect in some ways. There are so many temptations and dangers swirling around this world and consequences for mistakes can be high. Helen experiences just such a thing as she endures the devastation of a youthful dare gone wrong. My own girls have fledged into college students, and I fight the urge to try to keep them tethered close in our safe little family home. What comforts me is the knowledge that the Lord loves them ever so much more than I ever could. What’s more, though we are subject to all manner of disasters here on Earth, He has prepared a place for us where troubles will pass away, a perfect world, a “peaceful home.” What a comfort, don’t you think?
Thank you for reading this third book in the Roughwater Ranch Cowboys series. I hope you will come along with me in book four, which will be youngest brother, Chad’s, story. If you’d like to contact me, you can send a message via my website at www.danamentink.com. There’s a physical address there also if you prefer.
Thank you, friends, and God bless!
