[ Well, great, now she’s done it. Susie should know better by now, really, but she still can’t help herself. Anytime someone thinks they can just push her around, she has to come out swinging. Stupid and often useless here, but old habits die hard. Susie is eternally terrified of appearing vulnerable because she knows what happens to vulnerable people in the outside world, so of course it would be so much worse here. Even when she knows she should back down, when someone gets in her face, she can’t just let that go, especially not if they tend to act like they’re top dog in The Fog. That’s just not happening.
So if Trapper says he’s coming, then she’s been through this enough times to know he doesn’t mince words or lie. He’s coming, all right, and he’s brought several of his little hunting friends with him. God. This is not how she wanted today to go. Susie hops off the fence outside the resort and heads for higher ground indoors. Evan is a big man. If she can spot him setting up his stupid traps, she has a chance and that’s all she needs: to not panic. ]
