FIVE YEARS LATER
“MAMA!” Cady yelled, flinging her arms wide as she ran out of the
elementary school. “It’s snowing!”
Her glittery, off-brand Uggs weren’t exactly protecting her from the
wetness, but this storm had come on unexpectedly. In our small town nestled
in the mountains of Washington, getting the occasional dump in October
wasn’t unusual. Sometimes, we even got some in September. But we
typically had a bit of warning.
Cady spun in a circle, tipping her head back and trying to catch
snowflakes on her tongue.
My heart squeezed. She was everything good in this world—a walking,
talking beacon of hope. “Come on, Katydid. Let’s get going before your nose
freezes.”
Cady’s best friend, Charlie, laughed. “Dad says it takes at least a couple
of hours for frostbite to set in.”
I pressed my lips together to keep from chuckling. “Good to know.”
“See you tomorrow,” Charlie called as he ran toward the SUV with the
police emblem on its side.
I waved at his dad, Lawson, behind the wheel. He lifted his hand in
answer.
“Can we make snowmen when we get home?” Cady begged as I hustled
her toward my station wagon.
“Depends how much snow we get.”
But given that a good three inches were already on the ground, I had a
feeling we would be in snowman city.
I opened the back door for Cady, and she slid in. “I’d say there’s enough
for snow cones already.”
Her green eyes lit up as a grin split her face. “Can we make mine
strawberry?”
“What do you think?”
“Strawberries and cream!” Cady yelled and held up her hand.
I laughed and high-fived it. “Let’s go home, and then we can get started.”
I just hoped my station wagon would get us there. I needed to replace the
tires. I’d known it months ago but thought I’d have time. Unfortunately, an
early dose of winter waited for no one.
Climbing behind the wheel, I started it up and turned on the heat as high
as it would go. Cady chattered on and on about her day, but I stayed focused
on the roads. The elementary school was on the outskirts of downtown Cedar
Ridge, not too far from The Brew, the coffee shop and café I managed.
I followed Main Street through town. Usually, I let myself take in the
quaint tourist shops, restaurants, and the gorgeous lake that peeked out from
between the buildings. But not today. Even five years into my life in Cedar
Ridge, I still wasn’t used to driving in the snow.
“It’s so pretty,” Cady said with a sigh.
My hands loosened on the wheel a fraction. “It is.”
Something about the blanket of white stretched out around us was
incredibly peaceful. It reminded me how much I loved living here. But it was
more than the beauty that surrounded us. It was the people. Even though my
friends here might not know my past, they loved and supported us with
everything they had.
