Chapter 344: If You Could Have Anything
Sadie pulled me away from the guys and pushed open the door to the stairs. "Sorry about that," she apologized with a bright grin on her face. "The elevators were one of the first things to freeze."
"I don’t see how I can blame you for the weather," I chuckled, following up behind her.
"We’re in Country N; apologizing for the weather is just one of our things," she chuckled back. "Sorry that it’s too hot, sorry that it’s too cold, sorry that it is raining, sorry that it is sunny, sorry that it is snowing, sorry that it isn’t snowing."
"Do you guys have control over the weather then that you can apologize for it?" I asked, almost certain that I wasn’t joking anymore. I thought you were only supposed to apologize for things that were in your control. Weather was definitely one of those things that were not under human control.
Yet.
I could change that if she really wanted me to.
"I wish," sighed Sadie as she opened one of the doors. It wasn’t the highest level; there was still at least one more staircase leading up, but then again, that might be the roof for all that I knew. "If I could control the weather, I’d never see another snowflake for as long as I lived."
Nodding in agreement because... outside and everything... I followed her like a little puppy down the hall and into one of the doors in the middle. I could already feel a warmth in the hallway that the sixth floor didn’t have and I realized just what she meant by hot air rises.
"It’s warm here," I sighed as she pushed open the door. The room that greeted me fit my image of Sadie to a T. It smelled like coffee grounds, baked bread, and pine trees, and there were crocheted blankets all over the furniture and folded in piles in corners.
