Ok so here is a new story from the Dean and Tess series. I wasn't planning on carrying on the saga but this story started out as a drabble and then carried on. Again the title of the story is a song from Sarah McLachlan of the same name. Not that I want to jinx us with the weather though I did start this a while ago.
Hope you enjoy and don't forget reviews are love! :)

Chapter one:
Buttoning up his coat Jerry plunged out of the warm night club into the snow. It swirled and blurred in front of his eyes as he tugged up his collar to stop its cold tendrils reaching onto his neck.
He'd been waiting all night for Magnolia if that was even her real name to arrive. There had been something about her when he'd met her that made him excited. She was beautiful and seductive and her perfume always exotic in its scent intoxicated him.
Even though he knew he shouldn't have gone off with her he couldn't help it. It was as if she inebriated him and drew him in.
Every time he was with Leanne he couldn't stop thinking about her and the way Magnolia's body and hair smelt. Leanne just held no interest he couldn't even consider her touch in any way alluring to that of Magnolia's.
The wind whipped up the snow and he staggered along the alleyway towards the street. Or so he hoped.
'Jerry,' a voice shouted behind him making him stop and turn around. Squinting against the faster swirling flakes he could make out a figure.
The voice came louder and clearer to his ears and he recognised it, 'Magnolia? Where are you?' the snow span faster and faster.
'Jerry help me!' her voice came softer and insistent.
Running towards her Jerry slip and slid. Magnolia was in trouble and all he could think about was getting to her and saving her.
'Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!' Faster and louder sometimes it was quieter. Right against his face she shouted his name.
Snow piled against his body and his eyes seemed completely blind but still her voice twisted and echoed in his head.
Harder the snow pushed against him until he fell.
