Reading that little love note is exactly how I started my day. It’s safe to say Tinsley’s unwavering dislike for me is still holding strong. But that didn’t stop me from meeting up with Bess, Nettie, and to my welcome surprise, Ransom, for breakfast at the Blue Water Café as we indulged in a myriad of morning delights.

Ransom and I teamed up on our attack of the all-you-can-eat buffet, starting off with fluffy Belgian waffles, and you can bet every last dollar we filled their golden nooks and crannies with warm maple syrup and fresh blueberries. And for good measure, we landed a few dollops of whipped cream on top to add a sweet, creamy finish.

And just to be sure we covered our savory bases, we wandered over to the omelet station, where I requested a veggie-loaded creation—mushrooms, bell peppers, spinach, and a sprinkle of sharp cheddar cheese.

The chef expertly flipped and folded my work of culinary art, delivering a hot, fluffy omelet onto my plate with a flourish.

Ransom’s omelet was a meat fest filled with sausages and bacon, along with a triple blend of Mexican cheeses. A culinary feat I’ve already marked on my menu for tomorrow—or later.

Of course, I couldn't resist the sizzling bacon. Its tantalizing aroma made my mouth water just looking at it, so I snagged a couple of crispy slices, followed by a spoonful of hash browns, golden and crunchy on the outside, fluffy and light on the inside.

We considered balancing it out with fresh fruit, but seeing that our plates were already at capacity, we thought better of it and snagged a couple of mugs full of fresh brewed coffee instead.

The food was delicious, the conversation was scant, and Ransom was called away before he could finish half his meal.

At least now I know his secret to staying in shape—a diet rich in crime.

But as it stands, nine o’clock has come and gone and so has my class on painting landscapes with the precision of a sloth on sedatives.

Tinsley may not have a way with the two men she’s openly pining for—Wes and Ransom—but she certainly has a way with words, a very bitter way.

“Great class, Trix,” Nettie says with a swath of blue paint on her cheek and her face buried in the flier that details Liz Lyon’s convention schedule.

“Nettie, you’ve got paint all over your face,” Bess says as she raises her thumb to the exact locale in an effort to remove it.

“Don’t you come at me with those bony fingers,” Nettie says, inching out of her range. “A little paint on the face does an artist good. Besides, that’s how I know I’ve gone pro.”

Bess snorts with a laugh. “You may have gone pro with a bucket of paint, but would you look at this majesty?” She casts a glance at the landscape surrounding us. “Alaska has gone pro with this show.”

She’s not wrong.

The moment I stepped onto the deck, I was struck—not only with a sudden chill, but with breathtaking delight as I soaked in this icy wonderland.
