Nightmare’s Edge
“A young woman, her red hair partially covered by a woolen hood, extended an armful of coats, a wide smile on her face.
He puffed her name in a stream of white vapor. “Daryl!”
“In the flesh.” She pushed the coats toward Kelly. “Yours is on top, Kelly-kins.”

“You always say, ‘Be prepared’?” Kelly asked.

Nathan took the last coat and passed it to Amber, but she pushed it back. “I am not cold.”
