““Come on, I’m not reading it for the tenth time,” I said as I tossed the book away. I scanned the lodge hoping to see Liz approaching, or at the very least Miah. Jack let out a squeal and a little burble, his wordless warning that a tantrum was on the horizon. I picked him up, turned him around, and placed him on the floor in front of me leaning against a pillow. “Okay, sweet boy, we’re gonna play with these blocks now. Do you want to help me build?” I asked as I gathered his plastic cubes. He ...was too young to be able to stack them by himself, so I’d build towers four or five blocks tall until he’d knock them down, laughing as if it were the funniest thing in the world. A nervous tension filled the lodge, like people were putting on a happy face but just under the mask was terror. This evacuation was Tellure Hollow history. Christmas plans uprooted, people stranded, and all we could do was sit and wait for the storm to pass. It seemed to me that all the festive Christmas cheer was just a façade.MoreLessRead More Read Less
