Chapter 7

I got my break after all.

At about 8:30 pm Friday night, all hell broke loose in the form of snow, ice and wind. I got calls from the Five, all disappointed except me. I passed the hours away curled around my stories and relaxing away my troubles, trying to forget about the storm and its consequences come Monday.

I dreamed about Connor. The settings would change, but he was always moving away from me and I couldn't catch him. I would wake from these dreams breathing hard, my pulse pounding away like I'd been running. It didn't make sense why I was dreaming of him; he was attractive and all but he obviously didn't like me.
