We trudge back towards the car in deathly silence. I have never felt anything like it. I could sniff and the entire state would hear it. Zachary charges forward and flings the car door open, though from the time between meeting his sister and returning to the car, the snowfall has increased immensely. River shoots a look to Arun and me and I officially know I am spending too much time with these three because I know what the look is saying without words. We aren’t going anywhere. “Z, we aren’t gonna make it back,” River leans against the car door and looks into his friend. “Look at it already, it’s coming down too fast.” “Just drive the f*****g car, River,” Zachary barks back. “We don’t have time for this.” “You mean the weather?” I call out and cross my arms. This guy is impossible.
