Meeting Damien

By Maggie McGuinness

As soon as Clare met Andy, she knew he was the one. Four years later, he is her world and her future. Then, when a relationship crisis brings up baggage from Clare's past and destroys the trust she had in him, everything is turned upside down.

Clare drives up the mountain to the resort where Andy works as a ski instructor, determined to carry out the decision she has made. However, the treacherous mountain road intervenes. When her car slides off the road, Clare finds herself in grave danger. A mysterious stranger called Damien appears - seemingly from nowhere - to save her life. Can Damien save the relationship too?

This short story by popular fiction writer Maggie McGuinness explores love, trust and betrayal, and the things that are really important in life.

Meeting Damien

A bus drew up in the main street of a ski town in Colorado, and a leggy girl with chestnut curls bounded out of it. She hitched her daypack up on one shoulder and jumped over the piles of snow at the curb, then pushed open the door of the No Name Saloon. She stamped her boots on the grid in the doorway, and the barman gave her a wave.

Hi, Paul. She unzipped her ski jacket and shrugged out of it.

Good-day, mate, he replied, trying hard to use what he thought was an Australian accent. Am I sounding better today?

Nope. But keep trying; you’ll sound just like Crocodile Dundee any day now.

Good on ya, cobber, he said with a grin. Now, what can I get you?

Well, it sure is cold out there, so I need warming up. I’ll have a Bundy and Coke, thanks.

No can do. Sorry, mate! He held up the empty Bundaberg rum bottle, turning it to and fro.

No Bundy? You can’t be serious! What have you done with it? I’m the only one who drinks that stuff around here!

Not any more. There’s a Bundy-drinking stranger in town.
