Summary: Forgetting, Nate is happy for a moment. 

“Come on, Nate. I'm freezing,” Sophie said, shivering from the sidewalk. He looked her over: no hat, fur coat but a short one, dark Armani pants that the wind must be whipping right through, and high-heeled leather boots that were completely inadequate for a Boston winter.
 

This was going to be fun. “You can't be cold. You're wearing a fur coat.”
 

“That only goes down to my waist,” she replied.
 

In response he let himself fall backwards, onto the snow, and started swinging his arms and legs. He couldn't remember the last time he'd felt so happy at least not at first but then it hit him. He'd been out on a dinghy with his family, fishing poles in the water, and his son had squealed in delight each time they'd been spritzed by spindrift.
 

He stood up, brushed the snow off of his coat, and started walking at an angle calculated to take him across the grass. Without even glancing back once at Sophie, he said, “All right. We'll go back.”

I'm tempted to say poor Sophie as well since she's got to be navigating the icy sidewalk in high-heeled boots, which she won't cross the snow in, trying to catch up and find out why he's suddently upset.

But yeah... Poor Nate is right.

Having grown up in Upstate NY....I don't have any sympathy for Sophie trying to walk in high heeled boots...that's just stupidity.

But yeah...poor Nate.

I was born in Rochester but we moved when I was three so I don't remember it.

Totally stupid of her but also totally something I can see her doing.

That's awesome. I lived about 45 minutes from Rochester until I was almost 18.

And the sad part is...I know girls who would wear those types of boots.

And the sad part is...I know girls who would wear those types of boots. *laughs* I believe it. Don't wear high-heels myself. Sneakers, sneakers are good.

Sneakers. Hiking boots. Flip flops. Nothing at all...well during the summer anyway.
