Six a.m. Too early to be up, dressed, and ready for pie-baking action in Tara's sleepy opinion.

Her night had been terrible.

She may as well have been visited by the Ghost of Christmas Present for all the rest she'd gotten, for all the visions dancing in her head all night long. And the visions that haunted her were anything but sugarplums.

She had a bad feeling remembering the way Gram spoke so fondly of Ryan. He seemed to be taking root into her grandparents' good graces like holly bushes in the forest.

She'd thought about it all night. She was going to stop by and pay him a visit at his office. She needed to talk with him.

She sighed and pulled on a sweatshirt and jeans, then went to the window and paused. Moonlight filtered in through a crack in the curtains. The storm had passed.

Her heart raced.

When she'd been young, the moonlight streaming in intoxicated her. Clear, cold skies after a storm meant snowboarding heaven. Fresh powder from the day before. Clear visibility. Boarding down the mountain would be like flying without wings.

With Ryan flying beside her, life was perfect. She could almost feel the nipping bite of the breeze in her face. See him as they raced down the runs, throwing powder in their wakes. Feel his arms around her as he hugged her at the bottom of the run. Taste his warm tongue in her mouth as their frozen lips met...

She shook her head. Useless thinking.

Heart pounding in her ears, she threw open the curtains.

A host of stars shone overhead. A nearly half waxing moon hung over the mountain, lighting the lake to liquid silver, and silhouetting the strong, unforgiving mountain. She could see the ski runs, silent and crisp.

Suddenly claustrophobic, she tugged open the window and inhaled deeply. The frigid air burned her lungs, but smelled perfect, familiar and clean.

Oh, Chad! You'd love this. Why aren't you here?
