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.

Seeing no sign of the cops, Eleanor hit up Hailey right away. But Hailey was rushing off to deal with some drama at the nightclub, leaving her phone in the car, so she missed the call.

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