Morning came too soon. Ryan actually slept a lot more than he thought he would and when he woke up, Cecilia was already helping Ty get ready for the day. There were a few more people up and some still remained asleep. He tried to estimate what time it was – with no vantage point and the cellar still dark, there was no way of knowing until he went up to ground-level to see.

Whether or not he got to set out on his mission depended solely on the weather. While the snow had stopped falling right before they went to sleep, it could have easily picked back up. Spotting Steve across the room, Ryan slid out of bed and went to him. He hated that he couldn’t trust him and he’d never admit it out loud to the man.

“How’s the weather look up there?”

“We just cleared the door. Light snow but nothing like last night,” Steve replied. “I’m glad we harvested what we did. Talk about random!” The man smiled, his positive attitude making Ryan feel even worse about developing the attitude he had toward everyone he had been working with.

“Yeah. It’s a blessing and a curse all in one.”

Ryan stretched out and yawned. He could have easily used a few more hours of sleep. The temperature in the storm shelter was chilly in itself, the drafts from the door being opened keeping it cool. Concerns of winter clothing and bedding were the next milestone they’d have to worry about. They had cotton but it wasn’t near enough to make blankets, socks, and sweaters for everyone. At least with everyone together in one small room, the body heat was helping be a natural heater. But how long would that last?

“Steve, I’m going out there today to do more exploring. I’m going to go alone since I really don’t know what to expect. Hopefully I can run across more clothes, blankets, and things to keep us warm. If we have more nights like last night, our luck is going to run out. And something tells me, with the pattern we’ve been dealing with, we’re in for a lot worse than that.”

“Yeah, considering we had record-breaking heat, massive tornadoes, what’s to stop winter from doing the same damn thing?” Steve clicked his tongue on his teeth and shook his head. “You think it’s safe to go alone?”

“Gonna have to be. I’d rather you stay here and take care of things. It’ll be one less worry on my mind knowing you’re here to watch my family and friends. There’s a few guys from the firehouse but Cecilia and Ty seem to have taken a liking to you. And you can help get the canning done. That’s going to be one of our top priorities right now.”

Ryan quickly shoved aside the warnings from his conscience. Most of what he was saying to Steve was true. Cecilia and Ty had bonded with Steve. And if he had to choose someone to help with his family, it’d be Steve, even if he couldn’t trust him completely.
