I zipped up the heavy black parka Iâd grabbed from the supply closet in the corner of the garage. Iâd also grabbed a pair of winter boots that practically went up to my knees. Jenna put her beanie on, tucking her hair carefully under, then grabbed her scarf. Her eyes told me I canât believe you want to do this, but I wasnât planning on spending the entire day outsideâI just wanted somethingâ¦funâ¦different.
Something I couldnât do on my own.
Eventually, Jenna would have to go home, and I could spend the rest of my stay in the theater room or the pool or just lounging around, listening to music cranked high. I could order a new guitar online and work on some songs. I could do pretty much anything on my ownâ¦
I just didnât want to.
I wanted to hear her laugh.
Make her smile.
I wantedâ¦
Hell, I wanted things I hadnât thought Iâd wanted in a really long time.
It had taken me a long, long time to get over the disaster that had been my ex and the break-up from hellâ¦no wonder Frank had wanted me far out of her reach just in caseâthe holidays made people do crazy thingsâ¦and he didnât want me revisiting that path out of loneliness.
âAll set?â
Jenna sat waiting already in her jacket and boots, beanie firmly on her head. She looked at me anxiously, slipping her gloves on. I could tell going outside was not high on her list of things to do, unless it was to head home.
âWhy not? Sooner weâre out, sooner weâre back in.â
âThatâs the attitude.â I laughed and opened the door, stepping into the chilly air. According to the app, it had warmed slightly, but didnât feel like it. Still, for just a little while. A break from the house for a little while would go me good. As amazing as it was, it occasionally gave me a claustrophobic feeling.
At least on a tour bus, the scenery outside changed.
Jenna shivered and she cast a worried glance over her shoulder at the closed door.
âWeâre good,â I reassured her calmly, unable to keep the amusement out of my voice. Sure, Iâd left the phone in the houseâ¦but Iâd also taken a physical key outside with me, zipped into the inside pocket of my jacket. It might set off the alarms, but weâd still be able to get in anyway.
âAll good.â She walked slowly through the tall, almost knee-high snow, creating a deep path across the patio. A shovel sat off to the side, and she headed towards it, clearly intent on clearing a path.
I beat her to the shovel and carefully went down the steps, clearing off each stair before stepping down, finally leaving it upright in the stack of snow at ground level. The air was definitely cold, stinging even as I breathed deep, causing foggy tufts of condensation in the air. The sun was a distant memory in the overcast haze above us. But, to be honest, I didnât really care.
I tilted my head back and breathed deep.
