been doing a headcount, to make sure no one got stuck out in the elements.”
    “Let them know it’s all clear. There were six passengers. Two are at Norton Memorial. The other four are here. The owner’s insurance company should be moving it in the next couple of days.”
    “Alright Mr. Carrington. Well, I’ll get out of your hair now. We’ll be finished clearing out front in a jiffy. Have a good afternoon.”
    “Actually, can you hold on a second? I’ll be right back.”
    Andrew left the door ajar and came to Abby. “You heard all of it, right?”
    “Yes. So I guess it means…”
    “Yes. I can’t say I’m happy about it, but I understand you all have to leave. Listen, as the guys are here, how about I get them to tow your car here? It’ll save us the trek to unload it, and it’s not much of a difference for the insurance company’s towing service to come get it.”
    “Sure. I guess that could work. I’ll call my dad and let him know.”
    “Before you do, let me say this before my selfishness get the better of me.”
    “What is it?”
    “I won’t deny I want you to stay as long as I can have you, Abby. I do. I think you know how much I do. But you all got here together, and you should leave together. It’s the right thing to do. If they’ll tow your car here—and they will if I ask—I think it’s best if I drive you all back to Reno. You can pick up your rental and get Ruth and Barb back. You can leave John and Trina’s things here or drop them off at one of their parents’ place. There’s still more than enough time to make it to San Francisco before dark. How does that sound?”
    It was happening so fast, Abby wanted to resist at first. His earlier suggestion gave her a few extra days with him. This plan gave her no time at all. This plan sucked, but Andrew was right; it was the smart thing to do.
    “Sure. We’ll do it. I’d like to stay, but you’re right.”
    “It’s settled then. Let me tell the guys outside.”
    He started for the door but walked back to her and held her in his arms. “I want to see you again. Soon. I can come to you. Is that alright?”
    “Yes. Me too.” She wished it could be different. Time was not theirs anymore. She leaned into his chest. She took an extra few moments to soak in his embrace, breath in his musky smell, and then let him go. “Okay you go tell the men outside. I’ll let the rest of them know.”
    They left the living room. Andrew stepped through the front door again as Abby headed for the kitchen. She updated Ruth and Barb, who were ecstatic, and went to look for Rob. He was fine with the plan too. The three of them went upstairs to tidy up their rooms, and get their belongings packed. Abby headed to her room to do the same. She was the only one feeling somber about leaving—well, she and Andrew.
     
     

Chapter Ten
    ABBY looked back at the room after she got dressed and packed up. She was going to miss her time with Andrew. The experience was a whirlwind. A random turn of events led him to her. In three days, she could barely remember what her life was like before she met him.
    She had never felt anything like this ever before. What they shared was so unfamiliar; so foreign to her body, mind, and heart. She had barely dated before Andrew, let alone experience anything so—so fiery, fierce and intense. Certainly, she had not felt such passion with anyone she dated before; and there were no serious relationships before him.
    Is this even a relationship? She couldn’t answer the question. She felt an irresistible attraction to him, beyond anything she knew was possible. She sensed he felt the same, but had no idea what it all meant, or how to define it. There were moments when he touched her, she could put the brakes on everything else going on in her life—her studies included—and just be with him. It wasn’t sensible, or logical. But is there anything about love that’s even remotely logical? She didn’t have an answer to that
