Chapter 504

• “Do you think we missed her?” Kobie looked out around the tree.
• “It’s still early.” Blair was on the other side of the tree.
• Noah looked at them and wondered if they stopped to consider their light hair was going to stand out like a bright lamp in the trees now that the leaves were on the ground. He looked down, under the few inches of snow. The last part of the walk had been cold, wet, and had a lot of snowfall. He was glad it was after he’d gotten her out of the hole, or he might never have gotten his body out of there if the ground was slick with snowfall. Turning, he watched Emersyn play with her foot in it. Probably the first time since she was a child she’d been in snow. He frowned, or ever. He hadn’t really asked a lot about where she was from. Did they get snow there? He’d have to talk to Calum when this was done.
