Chapter 1
New Years Eve in the small town tended to be quiet. The tourists who filled the hotels and the restaurants during the summer stayed away during the bitter cold of the winter months. There where always a few stragglers, people who waited too long to book a getaway and had no other options, but for the most part the streets were still. The only movement outside were the ribbons of snow caught in the wind.
Another uneventful night, Sophia thought to herself as she looked out the window. She couldn’t even be upset at being the only server scheduled for the evening shift – it wasn’t like there was anything else to do. As one of only two restaurants that had decided to stay open for the night enough people came through that the shift never seemed to drag, but never enough to overwhelm the experienced hospitality worker.
