Chapter Ten

“Five days?” Barb exclaimed to ABBY.

Barb had just learned about the expected delays to clear local roads after the severe snowstorm.

“Yep,” Abby answered again as Barb repeated the question.

“But…won’t those people who do the plowing come out sooner? I mean, we couldn’t be the only ones stuck in this mess.”

“That’s the point, Barb,” Trina spoke up. “We’re not the only ones needing help. Just think of all of Highway eighty, and the roads to and from Truckee and Lake Tahoe. It’s a lot of ground to cover to get to us.”

“God, this really sucks.”

“Think about it this way, Barb,” Trina said. “We could have been out in the snow for that long. Puts things in perspective, doesn’t it?”

“Well, yeah, but this place is boring. Nothing works. It’ll be a long five days is all I’m saying.”

“Yes. And it would be the same if we were stuck anywhere else in this storm,” Trina answered with mild annoyance. “You think it would be any better in Truckee?”

“Ahh, whatever. I’m going to check out the games room,” Barb said, leaving the rest of the group sitting around the living room.

“I’ll be in the library.” Ruth followed, but stopped and turned back at the door. “Abby, do you want me to find you something to read?”

“Sure, thanks Ruth,” she answered.

“Any preferences?”

“Well, I’m not too sure what there is to choose from.”

“I’ll surprise you, then,” Ruth said with a wink and left.

Trina and John were cuddling on the sofa.

“We’re going back upstairs now,” Trina stood up and announced.

John followed her lead.

“See you later,” Abby answered.

“Not to worry, Rob,” Trina called from the door. “John and I will do food duty for dinner.”

“Good call.” Rob turned to Abby. “Well, it’s just you and me, kid. Want to help fold laundry?”

“Sure,” Abby said eagerly. “I’m already tired of being waited on. At least I’ll be useful for something. Bring it on.”

“Sweet,” Rob said, moving off from where he stood at the fireplace. “I’ve got to check the dryer. Be right back.”

Abby was glad for whatever time alone she could get. She was used to being around people, but admittedly, the solitude would allow her to think. She couldn’t think about Andrew without smiling or wondering. He’d been so kind and hospitable, considering her party of students was complete strangers. No one could blame him for keeping some distance. After all, one could never be too trusting these days.

She knew her dad and probably most people living outside Sparks would do the same thing that Andrew had done for them, and had, for many motorists over the years. They lived so close to Highway eighty, people would show up looking for directions, walk to their door with empty gas cans or empty coolant bottles, and the odd few would show up on foot when trucks broke down completely. And her dad had never turned anyone away.

Still, they had never had to host anyone overnight. Abby appreciated Andrew’s gesture of opening up his home to them, in particular as he seemed to live such a solitary existence.
