Chapter Eight

“I still don’t see what the big deal is.”

“Oh come on. Don’t be like that.”

“I was expecting…I don’t know…something…more.”

Reece put Alesha’s suitcase down in his bedroom with a low chuckle. “They predicted snow and technically, it’s snowing.”

“Barely,” she said with a pout.

“Hey,” he said, coming up behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist. “Weren’t you the one who was worried about the snow and how it was going to hinder our weekend away?”

“Yeah, I know. Everything got done at the bookstore so it’s all ready for Monday and I had all kinds of…plans for getting snowed in with you.”

“Ooh…plans? Like sexy plans? Because we can close the blinds and just pretend that there’s a blizzard out there. I’m all for that.”

Alesha chuckled. “I’m being ridiculous, I know. Sorry.” She turned in his arms and kissed him.

“I know you get snow up in Oregon,” he said. “So what’s the fascination with snow here?”

“Believe it or not, I just really enjoy the snow and the cold weather.” She shrugged. “And like I said, the thought of being snowed in with you was kind of on my mind.”

“We could have stayed back in Hope Falls. We could have been snowed in there. I’m sure they’re getting more of it there than here.”

Alesha moved away from him and sat down on the bed. “It wouldn’t have been the same.”

He was confused. Sitting down beside her, he told her as much.

“Don’t get me wrong—I’m grateful that I have my dad’s house to be staying in. I’m saving money on rent and all that. But…it’s not my own place. I feel like a guest there. And even though we spend our nights there, it still…” She paused and sighed. “It still makes me feel a little uncomfortable.”

Reece took her hand in his and squeezed it. “It’s not so bad. It would definitely be awkward if your father was there, but…”

“No, I know,” she quickly interrupted. “But…I’m going to start looking for a house.”

“What?” he asked, unable to hide his surprise. “Are you sure you’re ready for that? I know we’ve been talking about it but it was more in a general sense. I didn’t realize you meant you were going to do it now.”

She nodded. “I am. I’ve been saving up for a long time, long before I knew I’d be moving back to Hope Falls. And now that I’m somewhat settled with the bookstore and with my dad, I feel like the time is right. I plan on calling Lauren and maybe setting up a time to go look at houses next weekend.”

“What about going to see your dad? We always leave on Fridays.”

“I know and it’s been great. But after talking to him the other day, I called my uncle and talked with him for a little bit too. We agreed that maybe I’d skip a week or two to let Dad rest. He always wants to be up when we’re there and it takes a lot out of him. So I figured next weekend would be the best time to start the search.
