Chapter 36 If Anything Comes Up Chapter 36 If Anything Comes Up No matter what , Dawn was determined to leave . She wanted to leave the city she'd lived in for 20 years , the city that still held Austin . The plane sliced through the clouds , flying 25,000 feet up . After more than 2 hours , in fireally landed at Northville International Airport . Waiting for them was Ethan's other assistant , Tony Day . Compared to Oliver , Tony was way more outgoing , chatting with Dawn while tossing the luggage into the trunk . " Ms. Porter , Northville's way colder than Trifton , so bundle up . If you end up freezing , Mr. Jackson's heart will break . " Dawn glanced at Ethan nearby , phone pressed to his ear , and smiled " Okay , thanks . " " No thanks needed ! " Tony looked ridiculously pleased , even pulling out a business card . " From now on , if you need anything , call me . I'm on 24 - hour standby for you and Mr. Jackson ! " Dawn took the card , but before she could say anything , Ethan finished his call , shot Tony a look , and said , " Dial it down . " Tony replied , " Yes , sir . " Tony straightened up like it was life or death , pulled open the car door , and bowed with over- the - top politeness . Dawn couldn't stop laughing and slipped silently into the back seat . Northville had already seen its first big snow of the year . Outside , everything was buried in white . People hurried down the street , bundled up from head to toe . Dawn cracked the window , and a rush of cold air came in . She laughed against the chill , breath spilling out in white clouds . Ethan just smiled at her from the corner of his mouth , saying nothing . By 5 p.m. , traffic was thick . What should've been an hour drive took almost two . Worried she wouldn't adjust her first night , Ethan ordered takeout at home . 1/3 16:00 Mon , Sep 15 Chapter 36 If Anything Comes Up But clearly , his worry was unnecessary . Dawn had never been to Northville , so everything felt new . After dinner , she pulled on a puffy down jacket and ran out to the yard , stomping footprints into the thick snow and even building a little snowman . By the time Ethan came out with a scarf in hand , she was holding a huge lump of snow , her white jacket and hat blending into the scene , her nose red from the cold . " Ethan ! Come on ! " Her eyes curved like a crescent moon , pure joy shining through . She tossed the snow in her hands toward him , and it landed right by his feet . Ethan's lips curled as he followed her footprints , slipping the scarf around her neck . His voice was warm . " Play all you want , but be careful not to catch a cold . " Dawn tilted her head back at him , blinking playfully . The next second , she grabbed another handful of snow and smacked it against his chest . " Come on ! Snowball fight ! " Ethan froze . He ended up playing with her in the yard for over an hour . By the time they went back inside . both of their faces were flushed from the freezing air . Dawn jumped in place , blowing out a breath . " Tony was right . It really is cold . " " You still want to play tomorrow ? " " Definitely ! " Her eyes sparkled under the light , shining like stars . Ethan couldn't help getting caught up in her mood , tugging her hat lower with a grin . " Go take a hot shower . Don't get sick ." " Okay ." Dawn stepped out , then darted back in , tilting her face toward him . " Thanks for tonight . I was really happy . You should shower too , so you don't catch a cold . " Then she dashed upstairs like it was ... a full - on escape . 2/3 16:00 Mon , Sep 15 Chapter 36 If Anything Comes Up Closing the door , she let out a long breath . Geez , calm down , Dawn , she thought to herself . : Ethan probably had no idea how dangerous that pretty face of his was under the snow - sharp- edged , pale , perfectly carved , touched with a chill and a kind of effortless , reckless charm . Even with her strong heart , Dawn could barely hold her ground against that kind of pull She lifted both hands , smacking her cheeks , forcing herself not to spiral . " To the shower ! " Once Ethan was back , he dove into work , which meant the house was mostly just Dawn's . But she stayed busy too - two whole days packing up her things and getting ready for her interview at Dreammaker Studios . Over dinner , when Dawn mentioned it , Ethan paused mid - bite before continuing calmly , asking softly , " Want me to come with you ? " " No need . " Dawn felt confident about this kind of interview . Ethan didn't push , just said , " If anything comes up , call me . " The next day . Dawn had planned to order a ride , but just as she pulled out her phone , a horn blared outside . She stepped out and saw Tony , grinning , jangling a set of car keys. " Ms. Porter , Mr. Jackson told me to give you a car . " Right next to him sat a white Porsche , gleaming against the snow like it was born out of it . 3/3 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
