CHAPTER 12

“Turn right up here,” Kathleen directed from the backseat.

Liam turned the car onto a small dirt road that was beginning to get slick from the heavy snow accumulating on it. “Are we going to get snowed in?” Doug asked.

“Nah,” Kathleen answered. “My dad leaves a plow truck here. There are a few snowmobiles too so we’ll be able to get around no matter what.”

They bounced along the road over potholes, and rocks. Sera’s head pounded fiercely with every rut they hit. She closed her eyes and forced herself to picture the cabin at the end of the road. She had come up here with Kathleen once during their freshman year, and she had loved it. When Kathleen had suggested coming up now, she had instantly jumped at the chance to go, despite her reservations about missing classes.

She had fallen behind already; she didn’t need to fall behind anymore. But the idea of spending a couple of days at the cabin, with Liam, was too tempting for her to refuse. She could do some studying here, and really crack down when they got back. So what if she didn’t get straight A’s this semester, in the grander scheme of things it didn’t seem that important anymore.

The cabin was at the top of the steep hill and was set back in a grove of trees that surrounded it on three sides. Snow was just beginning to cover it, and old snow had been plowed into a big pile at the end of the road. Behind the large cabin, mountains loomed high against the night sky. Kathleen’s family stayed here through the summer, and visited it often in the winter.

Liam pulled the car up and turned the engine off. “Thank God,” Jack said, throwing his door open. “My legs are killing me.”

They piled out of the car, and Sera took a deep breath of the crisp, cool air. Snow filtered down the back of her parka and caused a chill to run down her spine. When they had left Massachusetts the weather forecast had predicted a chance of snow showers in Vermont. When they had gotten to Vermont, they had begun to predict at least six inches.

The wind howled around them and Sera pulled her parka tighter around her. “We’ll get the stuff,” Mike said. “You guys go inside and get some heat on.”

“No problem,” Kathleen said as she eagerly rubbed her bare hands together.

She bounded through the snow toward the cabin with Sera and Danielle following more cautiously behind. They huddled together on the huge, wraparound porch as Kathleen dug the keys from her pocket and threw the door open.

Kathleen flicked a switch and the lights came on. The living room on their right had a large, cathedral ceiling, with old wood beams running across the top of it. The beams were the same dark mahogany as the floor; while the walls were a light, oak color. A large stone chimney took up the farthest wall, tapering slightly as it went out the ceiling.
