Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue novel Chapter 506

Alyssa opted for a mediocre-looking sedan for her drive to the park later that day with Sean's company.

13 years ago, she had nearly lost her life here while searching for her mother's belongings. Supposedly, the memory should still traumatize her, but that trauma wavered in the face of her determination to be strong.

Ever since that incident, all that changed was that Alyssa would pay the park a visit every year and hike around the area with Elijah Forrest, aiding any trekkers or hikers in peril.

At first, the park rangers underestimated Alyssa, thinking she would go running back to her parents after a day's work and never return.

To their surprise, Alyssa pushed through every obstacle without complaint, finally leaving a good impression in front of everyone.

Sean looked at her from the rearview mirror. She was clad in full hiking gear, with no makeup on her skin. She had a robust elegance to her, like some determined huntress.

"I'll come with you on the trek, Ms. Alyssa. It will be dangerous," Sean suggested.

"You?" Alyssa squinted at him. "Did you bring any hiking gear? Have you learned anything about the do's and don'ts? Do you know any techniques to keep yourself safe?"

"No, but I did surf before, so I know how to dive!" Sean grinned.

Alyssa scowled. "Are we even on the same frequency here?"

Sean pursed his lips, mumbling, "I wouldn't dare stray …"

"What if we get in danger? Are you going to dive into the ocean? Hey, that might not be a bad idea. I'm sure some sirens are out there looking for an unfortunate human to be their spouse."

Sean awkwardly scratched his head, taking that as a compliment.

The car stopped halfway through the park. Beyond the road were forests and mountains as far as the eye could see, interspersed with faint mist and fog.

Sean gaped in awe at the tall, snowy peaks. "Whoa … that is very tall … It's massive …"

"Are those the only words that come to mind for you?"
