It was the silence that first woke me, that and the warm trickle of blood running down my face from the hairline cut on my scalp from where my head hit the dashboard. I clapped one hand to my head and opened my eyes to look around.
Frowning, I narrowed my eyes in concentration and tried to ignore the pounding of my head. What happened? The last thing that I remembered was driving the jeep? It was my turn at the wheel, and Ethan was in the front seat beside me. Norah was in the back with Moose, who was sleeping when it happened.
One minute everything was fine, and the next, it all spun out of control when the back tire popped with a loud boom, and the jeep jerked violently to the left. Startled, I hit the brakes as everything spun crazily around us and the jeep fishtailed before crashing into the deep ditch beside the road.
