He Froze My Car Because It “Ruined His View.” I Gave Him a Surprise He’ll Never Forget.

I scraped with my keys. Sprayed de-icer like it was holy water. It didn’t matter. Whoever did this had taken their time.

That’s when I noticed the ground.

Frozen puddles. A long, winding trail of ice starting at the curb… leading straight back to Vernon’s yard.

To his hose.

Rowan whimpered in my arms.
“Dad… hot…”

My hands were shaking so badly I almost dropped my phone calling 911.

I yelled Vernon’s name. Loud. Desperate.

A light came on across the street.

Curtains shifted.

He was awake. Watching.

The ambulance arrived faster than I expected. Rowan was rushed inside. They stabilized him. He was okay.

I was not.
