In a calculation gone awry, Jenna is outside as the hurricane inches toward landfall. Luckily Alex found her.
My Seven:
Alex’s keen Selkie hearing picked up a faint cry. Stumbling, he ran toward it with the horizontal wind buffeting him from the side.
He found Jenna on her knees, struggling to stand, and
gathered her into his arms. She wrapped around him as he helped her to her
feet. Both tried to speak but their words blew away on the wind. It took
everything he had, but he got them safely to the MacNeal house.
He groped the lintel for the key, found it, then
opened the door and shoved her inside. Putting all of his weight against the
wind, he closed the door behind them.
Jenna was bone weary, half-frozen, and soaked to
the skin. Her chattering teeth bit her words. “Oh m-my god, am I glad t-to be
out of—”
“Ye could have died out there!” His accumulated
fear for her getting the better of him, he’d spun around and grabbed her by the
upper arms. Shaking her lightly, he admonished, “What the hell were ye thinkin’ goin’ out in that?”
She tried to twist away from his grasp but too
much energy had gone to fighting the storm.
Alex recognized the fiery outrage growing in her
eyes. It was the same look he’d seen the night when they were locked in his
room. He dropped his hands and said, “Forgive me. Jesus Jenna, I was scared for
you.”
