Emily squinted her eyes against the swirling snow as she reached the top of the wet subway stairs. Shoulders hunched to her ears, she pulled up her hood and tightened her scarf. She wasn’t even sure why she was going. It had been a hellish day, as usual, and she just wanted to get home, climb into bed and pull the covers over her head. But she’d begged off last time and knew that Val would take it personally. She had been distant with her since Val’s cancer diagnosis, not really knowing what to say. So, braced against the freezing downtown gusts, Emily elbowed her way into the pedestrian traff...
