“The truck doors closed with a resounding ‘thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk’. Before they reached the porch, the front door of the house opened and Zev and Ben stepped out of the house. They watched their friends with worried expressions, both glad everyone was there but anxious to get things moving for Elijah’s sake. Everyone shuffled inside, causing a bottleneck in the entry as the men toed off their boots and shed the jackets.”
I love this visual! I wish I could have been there see the “bottleneck” of studs trying to shed their boots and coats..
