“Best not make it long. There’s nowhere to go inside and warm up, and you really don’t want to get frostbite out here.”
“I won’t,” she said as she grabbed the chocolate in her mitten and picked up her pencil again. She paused after only a moment to stick her hand up her jacket and warm it up in her armpit. Though they said nothing, she could feel that her dad in particular was impatient to get going again. As soon as she thought she could get away with it she pulled her hand out and set to adding the last lines she needed so she could finish the shading later.
