Doris gasped and looked up at the sign. “Oh no! I went over the twenty minutes they said not to exceed!”
“I did a long time ago,” Alice said. “I haven’t melted into a puddle of goo. You’re fine, Doris.”
She stood, reaching for her robe. “Well, I don’t want to risk it. I’ll head out with you ladies.”
“You coming, Alice? Meet at my dome and we’ll have anOutlanderbinge session with a snowstorm swirling around us? Could be really cool!”
“You know I will never say no to Jamie. I’ll bring my tablet.” She sat up then pulled a face. “Ugh. I have to run outside through the snow again. Why don’t they have tunnels?”
“Buck up, Pansyass. You’ll be fine.” Marge opened the door and the whoosh of cold air caused us all to gasp. She closed it right away. “Oh, man. That’s freaking cold.”
“Ugh. This is going to suck.” I tightened my robe as much as I could then slipped on the big furry boots.
“On three, we all run together,” Marge said.
Alice groaned then stood, putting on her robe and boots and lining up with us.
“One, two, three!” Marge counted, then pushed open the door and we all took off running through the blizzard, shrieking.
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
“Give me some more ofthat smoked fish.” Doris held out her plate toward Marge.
“Good, right? I catch a damn good fish!” Marge grinned and grabbed the plate then put a few more forkfuls of her catch on it. “Here you go.”
Alice wrinkled her nose as the plate passed across the bed and under her nose. “Yuck. It stinks. My dome is gonna reek like fish all night. There should be a ‘no stinky fish in bed’ rule. I’m imposing that starting now.”
“You’re the one that insisted we doOutlandernight in here so you wouldn’t have to walk out in the snow to get back to your dome in the morning.”
“That was before I knew you’d be polluting it with that nasty smelling crap.”
“It’s really good, Alice. You should try it.” I shoved a cracker topped with smoked fish into my mouth.
“Pass.” Her chin lifted as she looked away. “Marge probably poisoned it.”
“I wouldn’t be eating it if it was poisoned, dummy.” Marge opened her mouth wide and shoved a forkful in.
