Echo Lake (2014)
“The soup wasn’t half-bad. Brody didn’t detect any reluctance on her part to leave. She had on her sweatshirt and vest and was on her way to the door, telling him she didn’t need a shovel or sand to get to her truck, it was just a couple inches of snow, the ice underneath was no longer a problem...
“I’ll go with you,” he said, interrupting her midstream.
She stopped at the door. “Thanks, Brody, but I live here. I deal with storms all the time. It’s okay—”
“You’ll manage. I know.” He ...grabbed his jacket and shrugged it on. “I’m heading up there, anyway. Figured I’d see if Vic and Adrienne need a hand with Rohan. Vic will have to get used to storms if he’s retiring here. I’m guessing he hasn’t gotten them down yet.”

“What little sand there is here wouldn’t have helped in the freezing rain, but it will get us to your truck.”MoreLess
