Chapter 18

Alex awoke when she felt Sam get up, and still felt full from all the cookie dough, and a little sluggish. Today was Christmas Eve and a day she wanted to devote to Sam. It would be their first Christmas together and one she wanted to be extra special and hopefully start a tradition they would be able to repeat for years to come.

“Good mornin’, Darlin’. How did you sleep?” Sam came out of the bathroom half dressed and brushing her teeth.

“Fine and where are you off to at this hour?” They hadn’t discussed any plans about what they were going to do today.

“First, I go get you your first cup of coffee. Then I thought we’d take our breakfast and ride up to that meadow where you saw Anna and Ramon as wolves for the first time and maybe they’d come visit for a while. If not, we can just spend the time together. You know, no distractions in the form of a small boy who thinks we’re really cool.” Sam was hoping Alex would see the romantic nature of her plan.

Using her index finger Alex motioned to Sam to come back to bed where she wanted to show her how much she loved the idea. Doing a quick spit and rinse to get the toothpaste out of her mouth Sam knew she had hit the nail on the head and jumped back into bed for several passionate kisses before she headed out to get their coffee.

As Alex lay there holding Sam’s pillow the tears rolled down her cheeks as she felt so lucky. She had never been this happy in her entire life and now it wasn’t a fleeting moment, but an ongoing blessing one she hoped someone would kick her in the ass immediately if she took for granted. Deciding she’d better get up and start getting ready so they could get out before they were missed, she headed for the bathroom.

As Sam came through the door she could hear the shower, so she decided to join Alex. She put the coffees in the microwave so they could be heated later when they were finished. Alex was letting the water run over her as she stood in the dark and was happy to have Sam’s company. As they slowly kissed, Alex turned off the water as this was going to take awhile.

Upon emerging from their shower their coffee defin-itely needed to be reheated. They took it with them as Alex headed to the kitchen to get their breakfast packed and Sam headed to the barn to saddle up Smokey and Bruce Willis. Alex had the saddlebags ready and was heading for the barn when she spotted Sam coming out of the corral with both horses ready to go. Jessie walked out of the dining hall to wave goodbye. Alex had filled her in on the plan and she knew it may be dinner time before she saw the two of them again.

The meadow was somewhat protected
