yell, but I can’t? This woman’s nuts, and I need to stay the hell away from her. I see the plow truck coming back toward us, and after I thank them, they leave. Neither of us speak the rest of the way to the cabin.
    I can’t believe the size of it when I pull into the driveway, and I notice Taylor seems unaffected by it. I imagine she grew up staying in nice places like this. I regret not asking what her parents do for a living.
    She starts to climb out of the SUV. I can’t stand that I’m still worrying about her. I grab her arm. “Look at me, Taylor. You have to warm your body up slowly, so when you get inside, put one of the girls clothes on and wait to take a shower. Your body needs to warm back to normal temperature first.”
    “Fine,” she says, jerking her arm away.
    I can’t believe I actually thought things would be different between us. I see Hannah, Cody and Brett come flying out of the cabin. After Taylor gets out of the Escalade, Hannah throws her arms around her neck.
    “Oh my goodness, Taylor, you’re freezing. We have to get you inside. We’ve been worried sick about you two, so I finally called my parents early this morning, and they put in a call to get help out here.”
    I see that Hannah’s crying. She probably worried herself sick all night. I know now that Taylor has a soft side, but she’s determined not to show it for some screwed up reason. Cody pats my shoulder while I get our suitcases out of the back. “Buddy, we were really starting to worry. I’m glad you two are OK.”
    “Hannah paced around all night worrying about you and Taylor, but I told her we had to wait until the snow stopped,” Brett says.
    I hand Cody Taylor’s stuff to carry and follow Brett and him to the cabin. “I knew we could count on our friends to come through for us. I just kept praying we didn’t freeze to death beforehand, but I’m thinking Taylor should’ve just put me out of my misery.”
    “That bad, huh?” Brett asks.
    I don’t answer him. I need to shut up and get Taylor out of my head. I’m standing in the great room, and it’s massive with towering ceilings. I follow Cody up the stairs that are next to it, and he shows me where my room is. I open my duffel bag and hand him a change of clothes.
    “Could you throw these in the dryer for me for five minutes and bring them back up here?”
    “Sure man, are you OK?”
    “I’m freezing and tired. We slept in the SUV.”
    I’m stretched out across the bed when Cody comes back into the room. “Cody, tell Taylor to call her parents and let them know we made it. They’re probably worrying. I have to change and lie down for a while, so I’ll talk to you later.”
    “OK, can do.”
    I don’t want to see or hear that woman’s voice, so I put on my warm clothes and go to bed.

Change of Heart
    Taylor
    As soon as I get inside, Hannah finds me an outfit before she shows me to my room. “After you change, come downstairs, and you can wrap up in a blanket by the fireplace. I was so worried about you two. Did you sleep in the car?”
    “Yes, and it was freezing. I didn’t know my body could hurt this bad from the cold.” After changing and using the restroom, I go downstairs to the couch and rest in front of the fireplace.
    “The three of us stayed down here all night in case you showed up, so we’re going to crash for a couple of hours. Come get me if you need me,” Hannah says.
    “I just need warmth and sleep. Thanks for getting us help.” I start tearing up. I’m physically and emotionally drained.

    I sit up when I hear a lot of noise. The cold is still cutting through me. I barely feel warmer, and my muscles are aching. Chelsea, Jasmine and Morgan give me hugs.
    “We were really worried about you,” Chelsea says.
    Morgan sits down and wraps her arms around me.
    “We had no idea where you were since you didn’t call or text. It was scary.”
    “We couldn’t get a signal, or we would’ve.”
    “Did you and Dylan get
