Wow, it has been a while. I guess I just got busy, and...stuff. I am sure you were all chomping at the bit. If I had really wanted to, I could have found the time to post, I simply kept forgetting about it.
Alexa pushed aside her bangs, blinking in the fierce wind that kept blowing her bangs into her eyes. She ducked her head down, hunching her shoulders, trying to protect her face from the girt that snapped around in the wind. She hugged herself, trying to pull herself as small as possible.
Like that, she walked, watching her feet flash back and forth as she walked in rapid motions to her car. When she neared her vehicle, she jammed one of her gloved hands deep into her purse, digging around for her keys. When she found them, she pressed the fob and the locks in the car popped open with a snap.
Alexa jerked at the handle and opened the door on the driver's side. She stepped in awkwardly. She sorted through her keys till she found the one that turned the ignition. She stuck it in the ignition, and twisted it. She prayed desperately, and the engine turned over several times, sounding like a sick dog. Finally the engine started, and Alexa let out a sigh of relief.
