Ajax and Everly's Story . . .
Everly Washington and Ajax Campbell used to be best friends until a horrible argument broken them up. They stopped talking to each other, although neither can remember what they even argued about. Ajax would like a second chance with Everly, but she has cut him off completely and won’t talk. But when her older brother gets so involved in his games that he forgets to take supplies to his parents at the top of the mountain, with a bad storm on the way that could isolate them, Everly is tasked with doing what Evan neglected to do. The only problem is that her car is in the shop. Unfortunately, her contact list of friends finds everyone busy or not in a position to help. That leaves on one person, and he has a heavy-duty truck. Maybe he would let her borrow it? He refused to loan his truck, but offered instead to drive her for supplies and delivery, even though spending the day with him was not to her liking.
Not much talking took place on the way up the mountain. Everly started toward a panic attack over the snow, and Ajax took her hand and talked her down. And his touch reminded her how much she missed him. By the time they delivered the supplies and started back, the storm had escalated and Ajax drove to his nearby cabin. For the next few weeks, he can try to talk Everly into forgiving him for the way he acted in refusing her calls, and maybe even to give him a second chance to prove how much he still loves her. Will she listen to him now? Or will she stubbornly hold onto the anger that makes her feel she was “right”… even though she doesn’t remember what they fought over. Isn’t 4 years long enough to make him feel bad?
