A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 298

After forcing herself to calm down, Eleanor whipped out her phone and rang up the cops. But the police were slow as molasses in winter, and with the car engine dead, it was hot as hell inside.

Before long, the suffocating heat made her breathe like a fish out of water.

The lack of air and the suffocating feeling made her blood boil.
