Mia didn't press Howie for an answer. The question had been rather stupid, anyway. It was like asking someone what they'd choose if they could only eat one thing for the rest of their life. It was a situation that would never happen, so the answer didn't really matter.
"How come you're not inside?" she asked instead. She didn't know why anyone would voluntarily be standing outside in the cold unless they'd come out to smoke, which Howie obviously hadn't.
