shake the frost (гет)

'The huge oak at the end of the street is gone when she finally turns onto the cul de sac where she grew up. She knew it would be. It came down in a storm about a month ago and it had been the major topic of discussion when her mother had called. 
It had been reassuring, in a way. She could relax in the knowledge that the most exciting thing happening in Hawkins was the tree at the end of the street managing to fall in the exact right direction so that it didn’t take down any houses with it and how long it was taking to pick up the pieces. That was until her mother had somehow managed to segue from ‘they’re still cleaning up down at Millers' into ‘your father isn’t doing well and I think you should come home.’
