Landon moved his gaze to the ground outside. “That’s a lot of whitestuff.”
“And I’ll bet it’s colder than what we found when we visited that last cabin in the soap operaworld.”
“Probably. That only means it will be a fun day when we hike back to the guesthouse – and we’re doing that right after breakfast, by the way – so we can start a fire and cuddle in front of the television the entireafternoon.”
“Is that what you really want todo?”
Landon nodded. “Yup. You, me, hot chocolate andNetflix.”
“I could get behindthat.”
Landon grinned. “Just no soap operas … or bad science fiction movies … orA Few GoodMen.”
“You don’t have to worry about that one littlebit.”
THE SECOND TIMEWEwoke with clearer heads. We were wrapped around each other, no space between us. Somehow during the night it was as if we created one being forcomfort.
Surprisingly, I didn’t feel all that bad when I had a chance to wipe the crusties from my eyes and gauge my clarity and painlevel.
“Are you okay?” Landon murmured. He didn’t open his eyes, but he shifted so he could run his hand over my shoulder. “You’re not sick, areyou?”
“I’m feeling surprisingly spry. Perhaps being so active in our dreams beat back thehangover.”
“Or the aspirin and water we drank in the middle of the night didthat.”
“Sure. If you want to bepractical.”
Landon’s lips curved. “I feel pretty good, too.” He opened his eyes and pinned me with a lazy look. “Do you want to finish what we started under the discoball?”
“Now?” My eyebrows migrated higher on my forehead. “I thought breakfast would be the first thing on youragenda.”
“I did, too. Turns out I want a little more than eggs andbacon.”
“Wow. I feel sospecial.”
“Just keep in mind, if music springs up out of nowhere and I get nothing but a montage again … I’m going to have a complete and totalmeltdown.”
I let loose with a loud chuckle. “I hope that doesn’thappen.”
“Me, too. I don’t want to cry in front of you if I can helpit.”
“Wait … .” I put my hand on his shoulder before he could kiss me. “Is that still the worst thing that ever happened toyou?”
Landon shrugged. “It feels that way right now. I’m sure there are worse things in the world,though.”
“Like?”
“Like you refusing to let me enjoy my morning and asking an endless series ofquestions.”
“And if I stoptalking?”
“I’ll love youforever.”
“I thought that was already agiven.”
“It is, but I’ll totally share my bacon with you if you shut upnow.”
I mimed zipping mylips.
