Juliet's Law (2006)
“The four-year-old wore a blue knitted hat on her glossy dark head, and her eyes had the glazed blankness of mid-afternoon. “Sleepy, kiddo?”
“Don’t call me that!” she said, glaring at him.
He chuckled and touched her nose. “Okay, rabbit.”
“Not that, either!”
“Okay, wolf-girl.”
“Dad-DEE!” she complained.
“Sorry,” he said, grinning, and tucked a few bags of groceries around her feet—a handful of supplies for himself and his friend Desi, just in case the threatening snow turned into a blizzard. As ...he slammed the door firmly, he narrowed his eyes and looked up. Burly blue mountains surrounded the town, and clouds had moved halfway down their sides, hiding the entire line of ridges and most of the still-bare ski runs.
They wouldn’t be bare long. A few cottony bits of snow were spitting out of the sky, but it would be a few hours until the heart of the storm moved in. By then he and Glory would be tucked into their snug house, a fire roaring in the potbellied stove, soup bubbling on the stove for their supper, a dog snoring on the hearth.MoreLess
