Chapter Ten

Wade stepped back and looked at what he’d built with satisfaction.

That was a darn good snowman if he did say so himself.

He had no idea where Leah was, but he wasn’t leaving until he saw her. If it meant he had to fill the front yard with snowmen, then that was exactly what he would do.

He was in the middle of rolling the middle section of his second snowman when he had a niggling feeling that he was being watched.

As carefully as possible, Wade filled the palm of his gloves with snow and patted it into a snowball.

He sure hoped he wasn’t about to regret this. He tossed the snowball over his shoulder and heard the satisfying oomph from Leah.

Yes! Wade gave a small fist pump before he turned around with an innocent look on his face. He hoped.

“How did you know it was me?” Leah brushed off the snow from her coat. “What if it’d been Grams?”

“She would know better than to stand behind me.” He knelt and grabbed more snow, lobbing it at her before she had the chance to move.

She made it so easy.

“No fair.” She ran toward his truck, hiding behind it but not fast enough.

He hit her in the back. He had to admit, he was enjoying this.

He could see her fighting against the need to protest and run into the house—and the desire to hit him square in the face with a snowball of her own.

She had quite the arm, so he wouldn’t put it past her.

He caught her trying to edge closer to the front door, but there was no way he was letting that happen. Bending down so she couldn’t see him thanks to the truck she hid behind, he made his way toward to the front of it. He listened to the crunch of her feet on the snow and crouched.

The moment she made a run for it, he jumped out and grabbed her, enveloping her in a big bear hug.

A rush of laughter escaped from her, her face lighting up as he twirled her around.

Wade’s heart swelled with happiness. This was what he’d been missing. Her laughter. Her smile. The feel of her in his arms. He breathed it all in, unsure of how long it would last.

“You don’t play fair,” she finally said when she caught her breath.

“Didn’t know I needed to.” Wade winked as he casually brushed the snow off her shoulders. He tried to hide his smile as he noticed her wearing the scarf he’d made her for Christmas.

“What kind of boots are you wearing?” He stared at the bright yellow rain boots on her feet. Rain boots. What in her right mind would make her wear those? “You’ve been in California too long. Forget it snows here in March still?” He liked teasing her, enjoyed that smile that grew on her face, the way her eyes sparkled just before she laughed.

“My idiot of a brother got rid of all my snow gear apparently. It’s why I’m wearing this oversized coat.
