Alice was driving back home, she had been at Mara all day. It had been one thing after another there today. Yet another vet had left them in the lurch so as a favour to her brother she'd agreed to help out. She wrinkled her nose at her clothes, he owed her big time! She decided not to think about Mara anymore. She wanted a hot bath, food and Danny - not necessarily in that order either. Oh Danny she thought, I've missed you today. She smiled they'd been engaged for 2 months, in another 2 months they'd be married and she just couldn't wait. I'd left my engagement ring back at home, knowing my luck I'd lose it at Mara and be heartbroken. As I'm thinking about Danny I start remembering the early days the rabies outbreak, jealousy over Terry and Vanessa, the giraffe. I owe that giraffe ALOT! Danny's here because of him, she'd never forget that night. The rain, the thunder, the noises, the smell of diesel sweat and Danny's blood! She was actually riding in the truck they crashed Danny had been sitting where she was sitting,
"Oh I'm creeped out now." she said shifting in her seat. She then thought of the time she first told him she loved him, his face went from one of confusion to pure joy, then he kissed her. She'd never forget the shivers down her spine when he did it. They still happened nearly 2 years later. Oh how she loved him more than she needed the air she breathed.
Alice felt the wind in her long black hair, ok so maybe I'm driving a little bit too fast but the roads are clear and I'm eager to get home. I'd phoned Danny before I'd left Mara to tell him I was on my way home. I'd been abit suggestive on the phone to him about what I'd wanted. I laughed out loud. If he'd been the type to blush he be 5 different shades of purple by now. I heard a revving behind me and felt the back of her truck get clipped.
"Idiots!" they sped past her.
She decided to slow her truck now, she was eager to get home but not too eager to risk her life. She eased her foot off the gas pedal but it was too late. She heard the crunching of metal and realised the truck in front of her had crashed. She only had a split second to react she swerved and thankfully missed the vehicle but the car jack-knifed and momentum carried her further, suddenly the truck overturned, Alice felt a chrunch and all was silent.
