For Now (Broken Promises #1) (13 page)

It’s too dark and foggy for this.

Out of nowhere, we see the lights. It all happens so fast there’s no time to react as they come barreling towards us. Out of the fog comes an out of control truck, blaring its horn as it speeds towards us and there’s nothing we can do at the speed we’re going.  We’re going to hit him, and neither us nor the truck can do anything about it.

“Fuck!” he screams, slamming the breaks but the tires immediately squeal and spin, unable to get traction on the wet roads.

“Lane!” I scream, my hand clutching for his. He’s too focused on the wheel to hear my pleas. He can’t get the car under control.

Then it happens.

I hear the crunch; I see the glass fly in slow motion. I hear screams…

Then I hear nothing.

To be continued…….

About the Author

An avid, self proclaimed closet book nerd by the age of nine, Dauphin didn’t take her love of fictional worlds public until she self-published her first book almost 20 years later. Since putting to paper the voices in her head, she’s fallen in love with a career of building, ruining, and rebuilding fictional character’s lives. Currently, she has self published two series, two full length novels, and two full length co authored books she’s written with her other half HQ Frost, as well as been involved with two anthology sets. Her love will always reside with the romance genre, but she does enjoy going off the grid every now and then with non-fiction.

From Southern Illinois, born and raised, she now resides with her husband, two small boys, and two very busy dogs.
