"You're not the one paying for it..."
"But I lent you the money!"
"I'll pay you back eventually!"
Carlisle opened the door to the taxi and continued, "Now get in!"
Sharon suddenly realized that Carlisle seemed quite wealthy. She got into the back seat, and Carlisle closed the door and took the passenger seat.
The taxi began to move slowly. Meanwhile, the radio was playing a weather report.
"Yorksle will see moderate to heavy snow tomorrow morning through the night. The highest temperature will be 36 degrees Fahrenheit, while the lowest will be 18 degrees Fahrenheit."
Modern weather forecasts usually only cover the weather and temperatures for the next day. To get a three-day or week's forecast, one would have to tune into a special weather channel.
"Wow! Is it going to snow?"
Sharon sat up excitedly. Her face lit up with anticipation. Snow was a rare sight in Caulitorna.
"Man, that's a huge drop in temperature," the taxi driver exclaimed.
He then added with a frown, "It was 54 degrees today, but with this snow tomorrow, it'll drop all the way down to 18. It looks like I won't be able to drive tomorrow!"
The driver was a local and spoke with a thick accent. People in his line of work hated snowy weather.
Carlisle stared out the window, deep in thought. The big cold snap wasn't expected until January. The drop in temperature was just a small cold front. When the cold wave hit, the temperature would drop to around o°F. "Remember to stay warm tomorrow!" Sharon reminded Carlisle from the backseat.
Carlisle nodded.
"You too. Make sure you dress warmly."
After dropping Sharon off at school, Carlisle returned to the hotel. Francis wasn't in the room.
Carlisle sat on the sofa and called Zoey.
"I was just about to call you!"
Zoey started before getting to the point.
"I just talked to Maisie. She agreed to take Wanda to pick up the supplies tomorrow."
"Thank you, Ms. Miller!"
Carlisle felt a weight lift from his shoulders. His biggest worry had been getting in but not seeing Wanda.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Zoey hesitated before adding, "Even though you passed the screening test, you still need to be careful tomorrow. Don't let anyone there find out who you really are, or the consequences could be dire."
"Yeah, I know. I simply want to see her."
"Remember to come by my office tomorrow to sign the confidentiality agreement," Zoey added before hanging up.
Carlisle realized that Zoey had been testing him since the day before. He figured that she had probably done some research on him. Unlike Janet, who only wanted to confirm that he was Howard, Zoey had probably looked into his real identity in Riverland.
"We'll grow old together and watch the snowflakes fall..."
While Carlisle and Sharon ate their sandwiches, he had disabled silent mode on his phone.
He pulled out his phone and saw that it was Hilda calling. Hilda had heard on the radio that it was getting colder in Yorksle, so she wanted to make sure Carlisle was dressed for it.
The first snowfall in Yorksle came earlier than expected. Carlisle got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and saw thick snowflakes falling outside the window.
The hotel's heating system kept the room toasty and shielded him from the cold.
After using the bathroom, he went out on the balcony and caught some snowflakes in his hand. They quickly melted the moment they touched his palm.
As he gazed at the snowy scene, Carlisle quietly sang "Rest of My Life".
