The snow was coming down softly as I trudged through the snow. The cold had started to bite through my jeans but I didn’t care. It was a horrible morning and quite possibly the worst way to start the new year. I felt a tear roll down my cheek as I thought of my treacherous husband. The chilling wind kissed my face and I breathed deeply. I wanted to feel numb. I happened across a bridge going across a small frozen river. I stopped and wondered about the dangerous waters beneath the twinkling ice. “Hey!” A deep male voice sounded behind me and pulled me from my suicidal thoughts. His eyes sparkled blue and he had such a strong stubble-covered jaw. I felt my knees quiver. “Do you need a ride?” I shook my head no but I did want to get out of the shivering cold. I could feel the comforting heat of his blue Nissan Titan caress my face and he raised his brow. “Are you sure?” He smiled and it was truly dazzling. I threw my indecision out the window. “Yes, please.” I said as I opened the heavy door. “Thank you so much for the ride.” “It’s my pleasure. Do you have a heading?” He rolled up the window as the heat engulfed me. I didn’t want to go back to that womanizer and just short of the closest bar, I didn’t have a place to go. I felt more tears come down my face. “Hey now, it’s going to be okay.” he cooed as he put a hand on my shoulder. “Are you alright?” “I have nowhere to go. I caught my husband cheating on me.” I said as I wiped my tears with the sleeve of my green jacket. “Oh?” I looked at him expecting him to tell me to get out and find my own way home but he just smiled softly and moved to hold my hand. I felt small and womanly in that hand, blood rushed to my cheeks. “Would you mind if I took you to get coffee?” I giggled and shook my head. He revved the engine and pulled out carefully onto the road. We sat in silence for almost an hour with a few sneak peaks at his face before we pulled up to a Caribou. I smiled. “Have you ever been here before?” He asked as he swept his golden hair to the left. “It’s actually my favorite coffee shop.” I replied as I moved to open the door. He caught my arm. “Please, allow me.” I felt my smile grow wider as I watched him step out of the truck and hurry to my side to open the door for me. How sweet of him. “Thank you.” I said as I slid out of the seat. I think of myself as an average height for a woman but this man stood almost a foot taller. I looked into his eyes and he didn’t bother to take his hands from the truck, trapping me. “My name is Jay Culhane.” He said as he stepped closer. “Anna Rivera.” I replied. “It’s very nice to meet you.” He held out his hand and I took it. He closed the truck and lead me to the heavenly, warm smell of coffee and comfort. He ordered a black coffee with two sugars but when I ordered he laughed. “Hot chocolate?” “Yes, it has magic that turns everything negative into something amazing.” I elbowed him for making fun. “Well I hope I could do that for you too.” I felt a blush run hot and heavy across my cheeks so I turned away and walked to a table while he waited for the drinks. My, he was fascinating. His jacket hid his upper body but those wrangler blue-jeans hugged his legs and draped over the brown leather cowboy boots. He looked delectable. I shook my head. You are a married woman! My inner voice scolded me but I smiled. I may be married but it’s also a new year. It’s never too late for a change, a resolution.
