...out of necessity:
The power had gone out over an hour ago, the winter storm outside howling and leaving Nile under a blanket, her hoodie, and one of Joe’s giant coats, easily liberated from the hallway closet. Andy’s curled tight on herself, peering over at Nile. The rest of the safe house has been closed off, an attempt to keep as much warmth as possible in the front room.
