Excerpt
After a hot shower, I dressed in jeans and a sweater. Looking out the
window, I saw there was a good inch of snow already covering the surfaces. It
reminded me of my childhood when we’d pray for a snow day so we could go
sledding down the neighborhood hill instead of school. A movement shifted my
gaze to the corner of the back yard. I saw a figure in olive green on the
ground.
Holy shit. Kendall had fallen. I rushed down the stairs, pausing only to
frantically yank on my boots before running out the back door and down the
steps toward where I saw her on the ground.
I found her laughing. Was she delirious from the cold? A bump on the
head?
“What the hell are you doing?” I asked.
She looked up with rosy cheeks, bright eyes, and the biggest smile I’d
ever seen on her face. “Making a snow angel.”
“Why?” It was truly baffling to me.
“Because this is my first time seeing snow.”
Her purple sparkly boots peeked out from the giant parka, making me shake
my head. She looked like a toddler poorly dressed for the weather in
hand-me-downs.
“You’d best get up before the snow seeps through all of your clothes.”
She stuck her tongue out in response. “Go away. I’m not on the clock yet,
and you’re ruining my fun.”
“I came racing down here because I thought you’d fallen.”
“Oh, yeah? Did you come out to rescue me? Or hope you could quickly hide
the body?” she asked, holding out her gloved hand.
I pulled her up without much effort. I’d be surprised if her petite
stature weighed more than a hundred pounds. Her grin was infectious despite my
hangover. “Depends. Did you make coffee?”
Her lips twitched in a smile. “I did. I’ll even give you some. Just as
soon as you help me make a snowman.”
She was adorable. And not in the toddler kind of way. The type of way
that made me want her to hook her legs around my waist so I could take her
against a wall.
