I started this story a few weeks ago and I hope you’re enjoying it so far. I’m not sure where it’s heading, so any comments / critique is more than welcomed. Today, we get to know “the Park Ranger” a little more.

Enjoy ♥

Jesse Parker dragged his hand through his hair. There had been so many things wrong with the situation in front of him. The fact that the young girl had stopped him in the middle of nowhere didn’t sit well with him, but on the flipside, he was glad she had, because organising a search party wouldn’t have been on his favourite things to do for a Friday afternoon either. God knows if anybody had noticed that they’d been gone for a while, considering they were new in town. He made a mental note to ask Melody about the two. She’d given them the directions to the Cook Waterfall carpark, he was sure she’d know a little more about them.
And then there was the mother, who despite the shortage of breath and the obvious lack of fitness did something to him, he wasn’t sure how to handle or even interpret.The mother. He didn’t even know her name.
Holding out his hand, he said, “Jesse Parker. Nice meeting you.”
She looked up at him and a slow smile spread across her face, but she ignored his hand. “Nice meeting you, too. More than nice, if I may say so. I’m Lexie and this is my daughter Zoe.”
Sliding his hand into his pants pocket, he turned to look at Zoe. “I’m not lecturing you, but please promise me not making a habit out of stopping strange cars.”
The girl nodded enthusiastically. “Promise.”
“Okay. Let’s get this roadkill off the road and then get you back to your car.”

 

Thanks for all your comments,
I do appreciate each single one of them!

    1. Oh … I’d better get into details about “the other things wrong” in the next few snippets. Thanks for dropping by, Ed !

  1. Now why wouldn’t she shake his hand? Hmmm….this story has some fascinating aspects to it all right and I’m thoroughly hooked. Really enjoyed the excerpt!

  2. I’m curious why she wouldn’t shake his hand. Liked how we saw his view of the situation and the two women he happened upon. I’m curious to know more.

  3. Interesting mix of two different characters. Gives it a small town vibe with outsiders being noticed quickly. I’m guessing he’s some kind of police, makes me want to learn more about the situation.

  4. Sounds like she’s outwardly friendly, but doesn’t trust easily. Good snippet, Iris. 🙂

    1. Will do 🙂 LOL … we should find out soon. Thanks for stopping by, PT. Good to have you “back”.
