Winter

When Naomi had left her apartment in Santa Monica, the weather had been warm and sunny. She hadn't at all been prepared for the New York winter, and her first stop had been at the ever-popular Macy's to find and buy a winter coat and a pair of boots. For the time being, they'd have to work with her skinny jeans and t-shirt, because she didn't have time for a full on shopping session. Los Angeles didn't really lend itself to dressing well for a New York winter. But that would come later, she supposed. She would survive for now, and shop later. Her first goal in coming here... her only goal, really, was to find out why her dad hadn't been buried in Savannah... and if maybe her suspicion that Zoran wasn't quite so dead could be true.

( Her mother had told her she was out of her mind, and Nora had agreed... )
