A Warmth in Winter (2010)
“In Portland, Melanie poked her head around the doorframe of Annie’s office and grinned.
Annie looked up from her work. “Why am I lucky?”
“There’s another storm coming in!” Melanie danced into the room and dropped into the guest chair. “Last weekend you spent a couple of days holed up in a bed-and-breakfast, right? But the ferry couldn’t run in the storm.”
Annie thought about the cranberries shriveling in the trunk of her car. “Right. So?”
“Chances are that the ferry won’t run at Christmas, eith...er. I mean, that storm’s not likely to turn tail and head for Europe in the next four days, is it?”
“That’d be a neat trick.”
“You see? Through no fault of your own, you won’t be able to get to your aunt’s house for Christmas.” A dimple winked in Melanie’s cheek. “But flights will still be operating out of Logan.”
Slowly Melanie’s point registered with Annie. “Flights will operate . . . but the ferry won’t.” Her eyes met Melanie’s.
