Summary
As a curious child he’d gone to the library and learned that he’d be lucky to see half an inch of snow a year living in Louisiana, but it never stopped him from staring up at the sky throughout the winter months, praying on the more brisk, overcast days that the looming grayness of the sky would open up and dump a winter wonderland’s worth of snow just in time for Christmas.
But with age came anxieties, new things to fret about that Randy had never even considered in childhood when he wasn’t responsible for the well-being of anyone, much less himself. And now that Randy was an adult with a shitty job and a shittier car, the weather outside was, in fact, frightful as he watched from the dining room window at work. There was already a fluffy layer of white covering his car across the street, and it didn’t appear to be slowing. According to the news, they were due for up to four inches of snow, and to an already underfunded, nowhere town in a notoriously winter-less southern state, it might as well had been a blizzard for the infrastructure -or lack thereof- that was readily available for tackling the unusual nature of it.

Summary
“Did you want to kiss me, Randy?” Benson’s tone is halfway between mean jeering and flirtation, a potent combination Randy doesn’t quite know what to do with.
“Did you call me for a reason, or did you do it to be an asshole?” Randy shoots back, face hot.

Eight months after Benson escapes the diner and disappears into the night, Randy gets a call.
