THE STORM THAT TESTED GREYHAVEN
Chapter 7
At four in the morning, the wind finally began to weaken.
Not stop.
Just weaken.
That small difference changed everything.
People started moving faster.
Boats were checked.
Roads were cleared.
Power lines were inspected.
The rain continued.
But the worst had passed.
Ethan stood on the pier.
The ocean was still violent.
Debris floated near the docks.
Several boats were damaged.
One had disappeared completely.
He looked toward the town.
Greyhaven was battered.
But alive.
Walter stood beside him.
“You see it?”
Ethan nodded.
“Yeah.”
“Still here.”
Ethan breathed out.
“Still here.”
They stood in silence.
Then Walter handed him a cup of coffee.
Ethan looked at it.
“Where did you get this?”
“June.”
“She’s still awake?”
Walter smiled.
“June doesn’t sleep during disasters.”
Ethan took a sip.
The coffee was terrible.
He drank it anyway.
