The employees at the school cafeteria had so easily succumbed to her charms.
Even the grumpiest of them, a woman about Ian's age, softened when she saw
Winter. The second day they'd eaten in the cafeteria, Winter's phone rang, and
she just let it ring in her purse. She had been deciding between two side dishes,
and had inquired what was in one of them when it rang. The woman had
brusquely asked her, "Aren't you going to answer that?"

Winter had said, "No, I'm already talking to somebody. Whoever it is, they can wait."
Without even realizing how meaningful her words might be, Winter had told this
person that she was "Somebody."
