Chapter 3

I frowned as the wrought-iron gate flapped back and forth in the wind. The snow had stopped about half an hour ago, right before the sun rose over the horizon. There was probably a good half an inch of fresh snow on the ground.

“Zane,” I yelled into the house. “Did you forget to close the gate last night when you came back from your deliveries?”

Zane leaned against the door jamb, hands wrapped around his hot cup of coffee. “No. I specifically remember closing it. Why?”

“It’s open now.”

Zane shrugged. “Maybe the wind caught it last night during the storm.”

“Want to get some sparing in before we open?” I asked.

Zane grinned. “You think you can finally take me after all these years?”

No.

“You bet I do!” I said. “I’ve been practicing since you’ve been gone.”

Zane set down his mug and motioned me inside the house. “Let’s see what you got, little sis.”

Twenty minutes later I was sweating and cursing up a storm. I was no closer to taking my big brother down than I was when we were kids and we’d sparred back and forth like this.

“You’ve picked up some good moves while I’ve been away,” Zane acknowledged. “I especially like the roundhouse kick. Nice touch.”

I laughed. “I’ve watched a lot of Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris movies while you’ve been gone.”

“I can tell.” Zane tousled my hair and grinned. “Too bad they didn’t do you any good.”

“So, how was your date last night?” I asked.

I knew the question would get a rise out of him. If I couldn’t beat him physically, I was going to beat him mentally.

Zane scowled. “It wasn’t a date, brat. I was simply dropping off a tree to a family in need. That’s all.”

“Uh huh. That’s totally what I meant.”
