Frigid
“So was snow.
I used to love the snow, but right now I hated it, because it had me trapped right here. And this was officially the last place on this planet I wanted to be.
The temps had dropped even more once evening crept in on us. I paced the length of the living room, arms folded across my chest in spite of the heat from the fire. Three more days with Kyler. I couldn’t make it.
I heard his footsteps coming up the stairwell from the basement, and I froze in front of the fireplace. My heart th...umped as loudly as the wind outside. He appeared, carrying a bundle of blue tarp. Our eyes met for the briefest second, and then he headed for the door at the opposite end of the room, toward the sunroom.
“Can I help?” I asked, wincing as my voice cracked in the middle.
