Andrew stood beside me.

“Still afraid?”

He looked out at the white street.

“Feels like that day,” he said.

I nodded. “Yeah.”

He glanced at me.

“Still afraid?” he asked.

I breathed in. My lungs stung.

I looked back toward the kitchen.

I breathed out.

“Yeah,” I said. “But I’m done letting it decide my life.”

He nodded once.

Then I said, “Andrew?”

“Yeah?”

I looked back toward the kitchen.

“Tea first,” I said.

His smile was real this time.

“Tea first,” he agreed.

We shut the door on the storm.

And we sat down to make a plan.
