Chapter 10

“Asshole!” Andy grumbled more than once. How dare Cosmo shove her off on his brother, then come around acting weird like he was...jealous. The thought that he might actually be jealous and want her for himself had her hopeful for a moment. That was ridiculous. Someone as perfect as he was, wanting someone plain and simple like her just didn’t happen.

She knew she was cute in a librarian kind of way. She got asked out occasionally, but her inquisitive nature always seemed to turn men off. It was hard to find a man that could connect with her intellectually and also attract her physically. She had thought Cosmo was different. The other night they had shared a lovely dinner and had a good conversation. She’d felt excited to be around him. Obviously it was a one way thing, though. She learned a long time ago that she couldn’t force something that wasn’t meant to be, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t disappointed.

What she needed to do now was to concentrate on her job. She wanted to eventually branch out from the company she worked for and start her own research and exploration company. In order to do that, she would have to have field experience and make a discovery. She had the location she would start with first, which was the frozen lake across from her cabin, and she had the means of transportation: the snowmobile. She just needed to figure out how to run the damn thing.

She put her big coat on with gloves and her toboggan. She had filled her backpack with a blanket, camera, her cell phone, a notebook and pen, protein bars, and two bottles of water. She wanted to make sure she had something in case she got stranded. She was thinking maybe she overloaded her backpack as she struggled to mount the snowmobile with her backpack on. It should be like getting on a motorcycle with skis, right? She lifted her right foot to try to straddle the seat and lost her balance. She fell backward onto the soft snow.

“Ugh!”

“That’s one way to not get on a snowmobile.” Cosmo chuckled from the porch.

Damn. She hadn’t heard him pull up. “What are you doing here?” She tried to get up, but her layers and coat made her too bulky and she fell back again.

Cosmo walked toward her, and the snow crunched under his heavy boots. She looked up at him as he bent and offered her his hand. “Let me help you.”

She thought about turning him down, but it would only make her feel more foolish. Her father had told her once to never turn down an offer of help because you never know when you’d have the offer again. She put her gloved hand in his. “Thanks.”

He pulled her up easily. “You’re too heavy.”

“Are you calling me fat?” She was furious and breathing hard.

“No, honey. You have too much stuff on and it’s weighing you down. You are the perfect curvy woman.”

She tried
