Snowbound with Mr. Wrong

Thanks for stopping by! Today’s Snippet Sunday comes from the opening chapter of Snowbound with Mr. Wrong. We’re at a children’s Christmas party, where our hero, Nick – otherwise known as Santa – is not having a very jolly time:

“The phone’s dead. Maybe it’s the battery. Isn’t there another extension in the kitchen?”

After taking only two steps in that direction, he caught the look on Lyssa’s face and braked to a stop. “What’s going on?”

“The snowstorm hit sooner than expected. We’ve all got to get out of here in a hurry.”

Now he noticed the activity of the other adults around them. They were quietly rounding up kids and putting them into jackets and hats and mittens.

When Lyssa slipped away again, he stalked over to the window, pushed aside the thermal drapes, and stared through the glass. Though it was only mid-afternoon, he could see nothing but a cloud of sun-sparkled white flakes swirling in the wind.

Okay… Think this through. 

The airport was an hour away from the lodge and out of the path of the anticipated storm. No trouble with the main roads en route, no problem with getting to the airport to catch his flight on time. All he had to do was find a way to get off this mountain.
