Safe with You

I never expected to be stuck in a bank vault with a guy nicknamed Thumper. As a journalist, I thought the exciting stories would come after I left Goldheart. After countless ducks-crossing-the-road stories in this town, I never expected to be held up in a bank by a woman in a chicken costume.

Turns out-I’m the chicken and Thumper is my knight in a shining belt buckle.

As the minutes tick on, my feelings intensify, and the police can’t get here fast enough.

I might be falling for this guy when my time in this small town is temporary.

Most of all, I really wish I hadn’t chugged that whole iced coffee.
