Home Safely Zoe’s dad had said they were very lucky getting home when they did as the temperature had dropped suddenly after sunset, and the roads had become dangerous with ice. He was glad he had not needed to come looking for her. Mom said that she was going to tie her cellphone around her neck the next time she left the house. They had phoned Abbey’s mom as soon as they had both arrived, and from the conversation that followed, it had been decided that it would not be safe for her to come over to collect Abbey, so she would be a house guest until tomorrow, which would mean a fun sleepover.
