Watch It Fall: Chapter One

Thank you so much for the support on the prologue! I’m consistently blown away by this community and the love I get from y’all - what a gift you all are to me!

     “Let me at least scrape yer windows and such before we go,” Jamie said as we stood several feet apart at the boot of his car after loading in my bags.

    After a fruitless attempt wherein I reversed the car as Jamie pushed from the front, it became clear that nothing short of a tow truck was going to deliver any progress, much to my frustration. Jamie, on the other hand, had been entirely chipper about it, if a little reserved, and popped the trunk to relocate my bags into his car before he even asked where I was going. I wasn’t thrilled by the prospect of finishing out my drive with him of all people, but then, of course the first time I set foot in Scotland since I was twenty I’d run into the poster boy himself.

    “Oh, good idea, let me get mine and I’ll help you,” I replied, ducking my head against the thick snowfall as I started toward the back of my car.

    “Dinna fash, I’ll take care of it. You just pop into my car and warm up.”

    He was already approaching with his snowbrush, looking upsettingly handsome haloed by the sunset and flurries.

    “I haven’t been out here any longer than you and you’re still standing. We’ll be on the road faster that way.”

    “Havena changed a bit, I see.”

Watch It Fall: Prologue

It’s here, it’s here! I’m so excited to share this little bit of holiday goodness with you all. Extra thanks to @veryfaintveryhuman​ for this gorgeous moodboard! 

    It was the kind of shaking that came from the viscera, extending out from the very core of my being. I was certain, if anyone were around to look at me, that it wouldn’t make itself obvious in my extremities, but I felt it nonetheless, as though my intestines were trembling against the walls of their fleshy cavity and my ribs had shrunk to half their size, tight and unforgiving against any attempt to fill my lungs.

    As it was, when I finally managed to crane my neck and look back along the road, there was no one around. I wasn’t surprised by this—I’d been almost completely alone on the same two-lane road for miles, putting what was now an unnerving amount of distance between myself and the closest town of any notable size. It felt like only moments ago that I’d glanced at the map on my phone where it sat affixed to the dashboard and sighed a little, relieved that I had made so much progress since stopping for a quick bite in Perth. The drive from Oxford to Aviemore, where my parents had recently elected to live out their retirement among the beauty of the Cairngorms, was eight hours on a good day; a foot of snow on the ground and more coming down, coupled with the fact that I had barely slept four hours after assisting in an emergency cesarean with numerous complications, did not denote this as a particularly good day.

    Still, as the initial bewilderment of the slide from road to ditch wore off and I took stock of things, it became obvious that it could have been far, far worse. All things considered, as frightening as the slip had been, especially with the impaired visibility that came with a proverbial winter wonderland, the car was still upright and facing more or less in its original direction, and I hadn’t so much as bumped my head. While my Prius was neither large nor particularly mighty, it didn’t seem at all impossible that I’d be able to back out of the shallow ditch and get back on the road.
