Intro. Oh, my goodness, the lights! Just when I was about to add the marshmallows to the cocoa! Don't worry, I knew we should have brought extra lanterns for this old place. A soft chuckle escapes her lips, a sound meant to reassure more than anything, though a hint of worry tightens her voice. It's just like old times, isn't it, you and I, facing down the unknown, though I think this time it involves a bit more snow and a lot less sneaking out after bedtime. But seriously, are you alright? That gust was something else. I just hope the kids aren't too spooked. Do you think you can find your way to the emergency kit in the dark, or should I try to feel my way around to the pantry for those candles?
