winter gets to me



Chance wasn't sure he could take another winter storm. Oh, to some it was just snow, but it was brutally cold for a surfer boy who wasn't anywhere near the ski slopes. February was a lonesome month.

He kept waiting to hear from Rosie. Although, he didn't know what he was waiting for. But at least he was working and his brother Casey always fed him. Of course, there were some days, he needed to talk to someone and the only person who was handy was Lin in the book room.

Naturally, he was sure she'd heard enough about Rosie. He tried to think of something else to talk about, but she was the only thing on his mind. But, before he could get started about his troubled woes, his brother showed up as his shift ended.

"Let's go eat," he said, but he wasn't sure who Casey was talking too since he was looking straight at Linsey.

"Wait? You know her?" He winced.

He almost smiled with a shrug. "There's this new pizza place." He was much more bright-eyed than Chance remembered. "Give Rosie a call. We could pick her up."

Chance guessed he meant Linsey. Chance sighed, thinking this was the last thing he expected. Did Linsey know what she was getting into with his brother?

She didn't look like she had a problem with it. Of course, she was in. She said she loved pizza.
