CHAPTER ELEVEN

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Wake up, Sam. Wake up!

Sam rolled over and slid her finger over her cell’s touch screen to turn off the alarm. Chewy jumped up on the bed, wagging her body, doing her little whining thing to get Sam’s full attention.

“Okay, okay. I’ll let you out.” Sam rolled out of bed and immediately shivered.

Chewy bounced up and down on her hind legs.

Sam grinned. “Hang on, girl. Give me a second.” She shoved her feet into her big, fluffy Ugg slippers and wrapped a robe around her fleece-y pajamas, slipping her iPhone into the pocket, then headed down the hall to the kitchen.

Dad was on his cell as she passed him at the counter. She opened the kitchen door and Chewy shot outside. Sam’s eyes widened. There had to be at least three or four inches of ice and snow covering the ground. She shut the door and pulled out her phone. Shivering against the chill from just the brief moment she’d had the door open, Sam quickly checked the local news station’s site. She let out a whoop as they scrolled through the school closings and she saw the Pulaski County Special School District listed.

At the sound of Sam’s shout, Dad turned and walked into the dining room. Oops. Sam grimaced, then headed to the fridge to pull out milk and make a cup of hot chocolate. Snow day! This called for whipped cream.

“Well, keep me updated. Be careful.” Dad walked back into the kitchen. “Love you too. Here’s Sam.” He handed her the phone. “It’s Mom.”

“Hi, Mom.” Sam pushed her dad’s phone against her ear and smiled. It smelled like the cologne he wore, her favorite.

“Hey, my girl. Looks like I probably won’t make my flight home this afternoon. Not only is it pretty nasty here in New York, Dad says the flights at the Bill and Hillary Clinton Airport there are all delayed and some already canceled.”

“I’m sorry, Mom.”

“Me too. But at least you get a snow day, right?”

Sam grinned. “Yep.”

Chewy barked at the kitchen door. Sam leaned and let the dog back in.

“Well, you have a good day. I’ll keep you and Dad updated on my travel situation. I love you.”

“Love you too, Mom. Bye.” Sam tapped END CALL on the screen before handing the iPhone back to Dad.

“I talked with Captain York. I need to go into the office for a couple of hours, just to make sure everything’s covered in the weather. Once officers show up, I’ll be able to come back home.” Dad poured coffee into his ginormous thermos. “Mrs. Willis is next door if you need anything.”

“I’m good, Dad. Call me before you head home and I’ll fix us grilled cheese sandwiches and soup for lunch.”

“Deal.” Dad grinned and kissed the top of her head.

“And, Dad?”

“Yeah, pumpkin?”

“If it’s okay with Makayla’s parents, do you think maybe you could pick her up on your way home for her to come over? Maybe spend the night since I bet they’ll cancel school tomorrow?” She smiled wide and big.
