The Law of Loving Others (2014)
““Ever play the cold game?” Phil asked when we got inside the car. We didn’t speak of the visit, didn’t talk about how my mother seemed or how his brother was doing; we could’ve been pulling out of any parking lot anywhere. We granted each other that small gift.
“I haven’t,” I said. “Never heard of it.”
All four windows opened simultaneously and a blast of cold air shot through; snow was drifting inside the car, bits of ice landed on my hair.
“Up! Up! Up!” I said. “Close up the windo...ws!”
He grinned. “This is it,” he shouted, “this is the game!”
“It’s freezing!” I yelled. “Please!’”
