Jenny grabbed her luggage and threw it in Dan’s car. “So where is Kelly? I thought she was going to help us get the cabin ready.” Dan smiled uneasily. “Well, you know Kelly. Said she was running late and will meet us up there.” She snorted in disgust. “I don’t know how you put up with that woman!” Although Kelly was her best friend, Jenny resented how she always seemed to run late when work needed to be done. “So where is Ryan?” Dan asked with a smirk. “Oh, Mr. Workaholic had just one more meeting. So you know what that means.” “Yep, we get to do the grocery shopping.” “And I really hate shopping,” Jenny complained. “I suggest we only buy things we like. Screw those two!” Dan laughed. “Why not? Let’s go all out.” Jenny loved the ease she felt around Dan. The four of them were that perfect combination of friends. The couples met in college three years ago and hung together ever since. Kelly and Dan were nicknamed the Blondies for obvious reasons, and she was part of the Brownhead team. Jenny had some Cherokee blood running in her veins from her Dad’s side. It gave her an exotic look with her long dark hair and soft brown eyes. Ryan was her perfect match because of his chocolate brown curls – everyone said so. Jenny appreciated how rare it was that Kelly’s boyfriend was best friends with her boyfriend. It made trips like this a ton more fun. The four pretty much did everything together, including vacations to Jamaica and Hawaii. This weekend it was Dan’s family cabin up in the mountains. “I’ve got a suggestion,” Dan said. “Since you and I hate to cook, let’s just buy convenience foods. You know, all that premade crap that Kelly and Ryan hate.” She chuckled. “Oh, I like the way you think!” The two of them were sinful the way they filled up the shopping cart with chemically enhanced foods. She knew Ryan was going to have a cow, but he deserved it. Dan threw in some marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers. Jenny patted his shoulder enthusiastically. “Yay! I’ve never had S’mores before.” “Wow. I didn’t appreciate what a sheltered life you’ve led, Jenny. How else can I corrupt you this weekend?” She grinned looking down the row of food. “I’ve never had Vienna sausages.” “Done!” Dan threw six cans of the little sausages into the cart. The snow was starting to accumulate on the roads by the time they finished packing their stock of liquor into the car. “Plenty of food and booze, I think we’re set. I sure hope they get on the road soon. It is going to ice up fast,” Jenny fretted. “Don’t worry. Kelly promised to leave by four. What about Ryan?” “He’s not leaving the meeting until five. He’ll be driving in the dark by the time he gets there.” “Maybe you should call him and suggest a quicker exit.” Jenny called his cell, but Ryan didn’t pick up. She left a message and then another one at his office. “That’s the best I can do. Hope he listens to it in time.” Dan started his car and grinned at her. “I know Ryan. A blinking light at his desk will drive him crazy. He’ll get your message.” The drive up proved to be more difficult than they expected. The mountains had at least ten inches of snow and the flakes were still falling with a vengeance. “You want to turn back?” Jenny asked. “No, we’re almost there. The weathermen said it should be a quick storm. I’m sure it’ll clear up
