“I hope you’ll be comfortable in the cramped room,” Rhonda Karl commented as she fussed over a plate of sweetbreads, unleavened crackers, and sliced smoked lamb tongue. “I would have saved that large front bedroom with a fireplace if I’d known you’d want a room.”

Viktor sat in Rhonda’s kitchen, nursing his wounded ego and a mug of strong black coffee. After his fight with Meredith, he’d wanted to put as many miles as possible between them, but by that time it started to snow, and he hadn’t relished making the long drive down the mountain to Los Angeles in this weather.

Unfortunately, the hotels and inns of Forest Falls were nonexistent and a drive up to Big Bear would be wasted effort. Big Bear, a winter tourist town, was usually full for the holidays, and with such great skiing potential, this year unlikely to be an exception.

Then, remembering that Rhonda sometimes rented out rooms in her house during the peak ski season, Viktor had sought out the two-story Alpine style home on Spring Drive that had once been Jose Feliciano’s vacation hideaway on Snowy Canyon. Moreover, not surprisingly, Rhonda had been delighted to find a place for him.

Viktor knew that Rhonda enjoyed flirting with him in an innocent sort of way. He also knew that it irritated Meredith in the past would probably irritate her even more now, given the circumstances, if she knew he was here.

He wasn’t doing anything wrong by being here. Besides, what concern was it of Meredith’s anyway? She kicked him to the curb because she couldn’t deal with her own emotions. Meredith had felt the attraction reignite between them back at the cabin, but had chosen, in her own particularly stubborn way, not give in to it.

Even though he couldn’t help but blame himself for what happened, Viktor was angrier at Meredith now than he ever had been before.

She’d never really been easy to live with, but he had known that from the start. Women like Meredith, talented, beautiful and independent seldom were. But she had been worth it. Of course, they had other troubles in the past, but who didn’t?

Viktor stared through the darkness, past the large deck, and out into the San Gorgonio Wilderness. He had never wanted a divorce. That was Meredith’s idea, fearing that he was deliberately trying to hold her back from the success she deserved. He really couldn’t blame her for feeling that way. After all, he had been excessively jealous of her quick success.

Still, that didn’t mean they couldn’t manage to get past those issues and be happy together. Now it seemed as if the one chance he had bargained on to bring them back together again had failed, and made Meredith even more convinced than ever that divorce was the only answer.

Rhonda put a plate of food in front of Viktor, encouraging him to eat. “Come on,” she nagged in a good-natured way, “everything looks better when you’ve got some food in your stomach.” As she spoke, she placed a large mug at his elbow.
