Fugitive Wife
“It did not do any good to relive these painful memories, she told herself angrily. Al it did was demonstrate the importance that they stil assumed in her life ―a fruitless reminder if ever there was one.
Suddenly restless, she flung back the covers and got out of bed, padding over to the window and jerking back the curtain. The room was ful of icy draughts and she shivered uncontrolably as she stared out into the darkness.
The air was whirling with white flakes, and the landscape outside was to...taly alien under its muffling blanket of snow. She fought a rising sense of panic as she realised that this was not an isolated snowstorm to be folowed by a rapid thaw, but that winter had caught her here under the same roof with Logan, and seemed intent on keeping her here. Her hopes of a speedy and discreet exit as soon as daylight dawned were fading rapidly.
But I can’t stay here, she thought wildly. I should have got out earlier, while the going was good. The snow wasn’t nearly as deep then.MoreLess
