Chapter 7 Ding . A message popped up on my phone . Brittany . [ Chloe , it's not what you think . ] [ You said you'd be gone two days , so I stopped by your place . You weren't home . David said you'd probably be back soon , so I waited . Please don't misunderstand . ] [ We're best friends , aren't we ? You have to trust me . ] A flood of crying - face emojis followed . Her tone was syrupy soft . It only made my stomach turn . I typed back : [ Sure , I get it . By the way , Lily and I are stuck at the airport .

He turned to Brittany instead . " Don't worry . This weather won't last long . A few days , tops . Just cook what we've got . " She still looked anxious . " But everyone online's saying it's the end of the world . Have you seen the news ? " David shot her a sharp glare , waved her off . " Make dinner . " Then he dropped onto the couch and started scrolling his phone . The headlines glowed back at him : " Deep Freeze Descends " " Is This the Apocalypse ?
