Chapter 294: Snow Day, Part 2

"Here, you can wear these." Abby handed me a pair of faux fur lined winter boots.

She'd already given me snow pants, a hat, scarf, and gloves. If I wasn't warm enough in all of that, I had no business being outside in the snow.

"Chloe! Trent's here," Aunt Beth shouted.

My heart skipped a few beats. He was exactly on time, as always. "Thanks, Abby."

"No problem." She grinned as if she knew something I didn't.

I narrowed my eyes. "What's going on?"

"Nothing." She laughed. "Now, get out of my room." Abby ushered me out, and I knew for sure she was hiding something.

"One second," I shouted down the stairs, then dashed into my room to put on the boots and grab my cell phone.

Laughter filtered from the living room as I approached. I rounded the corner to find Trent talking to Aunt Beth and Uncle Dean, who was red-faced.

"What's so funny?" I asked, glancing between the three of them.

"Nothing." Aunt Beth shook her head, then grinned at Trent.
