Blackthorn Ridge

My name is Sage Thompson.

I drove north until my Jeep died in a Montana blizzard with nothing left but a stuffed bear, an unread college acceptance letter, and my dead mother’s last words echoing in my head.

Just get in there. Let someone help you.
I walked into the only diner with lights on. I had no money. No plan. Nothing left to offer except the only currency I’d ever been taught I had.
And then I saw him.

Corner booth. Impossibly large. Salt-and-pepper beard. Hands that could break me without effort — resting open on the table, asking for nothing.
He called me his friend before he knew my name.
