Shannon looked out the side window at the passing scenery. Even at night the landscape was

breathtaking, with a clear sky and a bright moon. Although it had been two days since the storm, and the

roads were mostly clear, the snow covering fields and forests was still pristine, and the moonlight and

starshine glittered over the surface and on the winter-bare trees still coated with ice. Living in a city, snow

was grimy and downtrodden within hours of the last fallen flake. Shannon had forgotten how truly

beautiful snow was.

The truck was warm, and Show had a CD going—Clint Black. She hadn’t really been listening, but a

line in the song that was currently playing caught her attention as Black changed pitch. The lyric resonated

with her in that moment, and she looked sidelong at Show, who was staring out the windshield, his hands

on the wheel. He’d been quiet for awhile. Not ignoring her, just quiet. But then, she’d been quiet, too.

They’d left not long after dessert, as soon as Show and Isaac had talked whatever shop they’d needed to

talk. She knew it was her who’d changed the tone of what had been a fun night. She’d felt comfortable and

easy, only a little tipsy. Lilli and Isaac were good folks and good company. The food had been great, and

they’d laughed and teased each other. She’d even enjoyed the little ribbing she and Show had gotten when

she was telling the story of the drunk cooks.

And then Gia had woken up. Lilli had put her down shortly after Shannon and Show had arrived,

explaining, in response to Show’s disappointment, that her sleep schedule was still erratic. Shannon had

hoped that she might sleep until the evening was over. But she hadn’t, and Show had volunteered to go up

and collect her.

At first, that was fine. Isaac, Lilli, and Shannon continued the conversation they’d been involved in.

Until Shannon heard Show’s voice, low and sweet, cooing, Hey, little diva. Come to Uncle Show, and

she’d forgotten that there were other people in the room with her. The video monitor in the kitchen was in

her sightline, and she sat and watched him love that baby, murmuring sweetly, like a melody in his rumbling

baritone, as he changed and dressed her.

It had rocked Shannon hard, made her scared and sad and so full of pain and…and something powerful

she couldn’t figure out, she thought she’d pass out. A sound filled her head like white noise or crashing

waves or she didn’t know what it was, and it didn’t stop until Show had left the room with the baby and

was on his way back downstairs. By then, when she’d gotten some control back, Isaac was in the fridge

getting beer, and Lilli was sitting at the table, studying her. Unable to think of anything else to do, she’d

shaken her head and tried to chuckle, apologizing for spacing out.

As saves went, it had been adequate. Lilli didn’t seem convinced, but she didn’t pry. Show gave her a

concerned look when he came back into the kitchen with Gia, which told her that she needed to work on

her expression.
