The journey went smoothly, and they only took a few breaks along the way to allow Rayne to replace the SUV with one that had a full tank of gas.
The roads were also much easier to drive on since most of the snow had already melted.
By the time they made it to the town, it was already mid-afternoon, and the sun was beaming down in full force.
Rayne frowned. "I wonder what changes we'll see with the sun acting the way it is. It's been rising sooner and sooner—not to mention how hot it gets in the afternoons."
The snow had only just recently melted, yet it already felt like the peak of summer during the day.
Julian turned the AC on. "Yeah, it's definitely odd. At least it's a good time to visit the beach. I wonder if the water will still be really cold."
Rayne burst out laughing, making Julian glance at her in confusion.
