Summary
February in New York City is worse than February in Fagan Corners. Karen may not know many truths anymore, but she does know this.
At least in Vermont people don’t splash black slush over her boots on the way home from work. They don’t inch along the pavement, acting like they’ve never seen ice despite the fact that Hell’s Kitchen is no Bora Bora. Mostly, no one in Vermont drags crimson red snow into her apartment without at least wiping their feet on the mat first.

Summary
“You’re not asleep,” she observes. “How come?”
He thinks for a moment. Darts his eyes away from hers when the thinking goes a little far. Darts them back when he catches the tiniest of smirks in his peripheral, and away again when that means staring at her lips.
“Bed’s too soft,” Frank complains, and the weight of the lie sits heavy as a stone in his stomach. He’s always been truthful with her. They don’t keep secrets; them’s the rules.
Except for this one… thing, which neither of them seem able to admit out loud, so they’ve settled for dancing around it, tip-toeing like it’s an IED primed to go off at the first wrong move. Every time he tries, his throat closes up.
