The Breaking Point of Love Novel

" Beck unfolded the coat and casually wrapped it around her , then made sure Shanice was bundled up in the small one .

Everyone else was there with their close friends and family , sitting in groups chatting , playing games , building snowmen , and having snowball fights - it was a lively scene .
