Was reading this lovely novella when I came across this one on page 39% and just LOVED it.
First Chapter First Paragraph Thursday Intros ~ The Weather Weaver by Tamsin Mori
Stella hung over the wooden rail and watched the inky waves, far below.
I know you’re down there…
As if in answer, a sudden swell made the ferry tip and her stomach rolled. She’d never liked being out on the open water, but the nightmare had made it worse. She couldn’t remember all of it. Deep, dark water. The feeling of drowning. In the daytime, the details always faded away, like mist in the sunlight.

Friday’s Page 69 ~ Prom House by Chelsea Mueller
“This storm is going to get worse,” Hudson announced, as if we all hadn’t been telling him that exact thing.
“Let’s get back inside before it does.” Dani’s black hair whipped around her head as a gust of frigid, salty air scoured us. Hudson tugged her towards the steps. “Or we could get in the car and get out of here before every road is flooded and we’re stuck in this house for days.”

Back inside.
We need to be in the house, and we needed to be there now.
