Today’s word on Tuesday Tales is sandwich. This was an easy one to put in since I’d had my characters drinking in a bar and now they are snowed in and need to be fed and find spots to sleep. Don’t forget the other writers who have tackled this word this week. Check them out here.
“Seriously, what are we going to do? I know you were teasing earlier about the carpet but I’m so exhausted I might be tempted to pull up a corner of it and pass out.”
“I was thinking you could take the couch in Simon’s office.”
Simon walked up at that moment. “You selling my bed to the highest bidder?” He asked.
“You could say that,” Lanett smiled.
“I confess that earlier this evening I was planning to put the ladies in the office and the lads out here when it was time to sleep. I’ve changed my mind now though since the only two ladies left are you and that vixen that works with Ian. It would be too dangerous to put the two of you in there alone.” Simon turned to Ian. “I think you’ll have to go in with them to keep the peace.”
“That sounds like a terrible plan,” Lanett said. “Clearly Nancy has some gripe with Ian and she sure doesn’t like me either. I think we’d be safer out here with the entire group.”
“But there’s a nice couch in there and I have a cot in the closet as well. You’d be more comfortable there than out here.” Simon touched her arm. “Won’t you consider it?”
“No. Sorry. I can’t.” She shook her head.
“Very well, then, let’s get everyone a little something in their stomach besides liquor and then I’ll pass out what blankets I have on hand.”
“What are we going to feed them?” Ian asked.
“The easiest thing to whip up is an egg sandwich,” Simon said. “I probably have several dozen eggs in the refrigerator and a number of types of bread.”
“I’ll help.” Lanett offered.

Fab scene. I enjoy how they are giving their opinions on things that need to be done and more or less working together. Can’t make it more perfect than egg salad sandwich– yum.
