Chapter 61

“That all you want?” Zane asked through a mouthful of pancake, pointing his fork at Rory’s small plate of toast and scrambled eggs.

“Yep.” Rory nodded. Just then his phone beeped with an incoming text.

“Barry?” Zane asked.

Rory nodded and began to write a reply. “He’s asking if the roads have cleared any.”

Zane continued to chew as Rory typed. Yes, the snowplow had gone through the town, and the roads, at least those Rory had seen, were drivable.

Seconds later another text came in.

U Want me 2 come 4 u this pm?

Rory relayed the message to Zane.

“Suppose we should go back.” Zane sounded just as reluctant to return as Rory.
