Life can be tough, there's no doubt,
But hope is the thing we can't do without.

The light-headedness he felt at her smile must have been from the cold, especially as the words came tumbling from his mouth without hesitation, "It's no trouble at all." Honestly, she could have asked him to drive her across the country, and he wasn't sure he would have been able to deny her. It wasn't something his coworkers would appreciate, but if they saw the way she was beaming brighter than sunlight on fresh snow... could they have blamed him?
Her question broke him out of the momentary stun, a low chuckle falling from a pure, knowing grin that told of his abundance of familiarity with the place. "Yeah. I know where Peakview Inn is. Molly will be worried sick knowing you're on your way out there in this weather." Considering how they'd known each other his whole life, Molly would probably be fussing over him too, but that had started to fade after he joined the department - otherwise her gray hair would have fallen out by now, and she'd have an army of ulcers to patch.
Zavien was about to pull of his gloves when he had a thought, shifting their focus again to the car stuck in the snow. "Do you need anything from your car? Any luggage you want me to grab before we head out?" He wouldn't make her get it, but he didn't want her to be stuck without extra clothes or vital necessities she may have brought with her for the trip.

Right things with joy will come about...
In good time.
