When Love Comes Late
He redialed the number, only to be met with a hang-up and a new address.
Neville searched online and located the camp-not far from the airport.
âMileyâs waiting for you in Norman Camping Area.
â
Nevilleâs face hadnât softened since the receiving the message.
The expressway jam remained, but he couldnât risk another delay.
If he arrived later, Mileyâs fate would be even more unpredictable.
He hurried to a nearby car booth and rented a car.
âThis weatherâs pretty bad! Seamarsh hasnât seen rain like this in ages.
Where you headed?â The owner sounded worried.
Straight-faced, Neville answered, âNorman Camping Area.
â
âWhat? Now? Itâs a downpour.
The mountain roads are treacherous; you might encounter mudslides! Wait for the weather to break before camping.
Are you trying to get yourself killed?â
Neville scowled.
He knew the dangers.
But he had to go, for Miley.
Hesitantly, he left Matthewâs contact with the owner.
âIf Iâm not back in two hours, call him.
Heâll handle things.
â
With that, he sped away from the airport, leaving the owner to sigh and mutter, âWhy is he so determined? I can only hope he makes it back.

He drove cautiously, his concern for Miley growing.

Suddenly, the car lurched violently.
Neville pounded the steering wheel, but the vehicle had stalled completely, refusing to restart.
Time was of the essence, and he couldnât afford to waste a single minute.
Despite the heavy rain, he exited the car to inspect the situation.
The car was completely stuck in the mud.
Without hesitation, Neville abandoned the vehicle, grabbed his backpack, and ascended the hillside on foot.
Navigating the rainy terrain in leather shoes was even harder.
Neville trudged through muddy paths, his coat snagging on branches, but he paid little attention to the discomfort.
His steps were fueled by urgency.
Finding Miley was all he cared about.
In his haste, Neville slipped and tumbled down a steep slope.
