MADDIE LAY AWAKE on her cot, listening to Mike toss and turn on his. It was late and she’d been up early. Normally, she’d have no trouble falling asleep, but she was hyperaware of him just a few feet away.

She also couldn’t shake the nagging question that had plagued her most of the day. “Hey, Mike, you awake?”

“Yep.” His bedsprings creaked as he rolled onto his side to face her. She could faintly make out the outline of his naked upper body. “What’s up?” he asked.

She hesitated. The question was embarrassing, but she had to ask. “When you spoke to Cassie, did she say what happened to Darrel?”

“No...just that he’d had to cancel last minute.”

She bit her lip, straining to see her hands in the dark as she played with her nails. She swallowed hard. “You don’t think he drove past SnowTrek Tours...saw me and then bailed, do you?”

Mike scoffed, then made an odd coughing noise to cover it up. “No... I don’t think that’s what happened.”

She nodded, even though he couldn’t see her.

“I mean, the guy would have to be crazy if that were the case,” he said softly but also slightly gruffly, as though sentimental comments took a lot out of him.

Which had the butterflies in the pit of her stomach fluttering on full speed. She was grateful for the dark so he couldn’t see her flushed cheeks. “Okay. Thanks, Mike.”

“But I’m sorry he didn’t show up,” Mike said, an odd note in his voice.

“I’m not,” she said. “’Night, Mike.”
