Chapter 7

Roman had insisted on going with her after they’d dropped the tube back at the inn, saying that he wanted to meet Josh. He’d followed her on a different snow mobile through Main Street, passed the hardware store and down the opposite direction from the ski resort. The road led to a small elementary school and a combined junior high and high school.

The snow had subsided substantially. Roman wondered how long it would be before the attorney would be able to get up to the inn to get the paperwork done to sell the place. He was surprised he actually didn’t want to think about it. He pushed the thought away because it made him sad.

They waited with other snowmobiles or pretty hefty four-wheel drive vehicles for the kids to get out. They didn’t have to wait long before a mass of children burst out of the building. He watched Katie wave to a child with a batman backpack and batman hat and gloves.

The boy came running quickly for the snowmobile. Roman noted that he had the shape of his mother’s face and nose, but his hair was blonde. “Mom!” He held up some piece of paper. “Look, I painted this for you today!”

First, Katie hugged him. Then she kept her arm around him and studied the picture with a serious face. “I love it!”

Pure joy lit up the boy’s face.

Katie nodded toward him and then tugged him by the hand. “I want you to meet someone.”

Nervous seemed like an understatement for how Roman felt. Butterflies pounded into his gut. Meeting the most important man in any woman’s life was a huge deal and he suddenly wondered if he was really ready for this.

Katie gestured to Roman. “Josh, meet Roman. This is Jim’s nephew. He owns the inn now. He’s been…helping me for the past two days.”

Josh scrunched up his face, like meeting Roman was some sort of scientific project. “You look like that football player.”

Roman put his hand out. “Roman Young, nice to meet you.”

Tentatively, Josh put his batman glove in Roman’s hand. “Could I get you to sign something?”

“Josh!” Katie shook her head.

Roman grinned. Young fans were the best. “Absolutely!” He released Josh’s hand.

After fist pumping the air, Josh laughed. A loud, kid kind of laugh. “Now I can say I’ve met someone famous.”

Katie gestured to the other snowmobile looking flustered. “Josh, it doesn’t matter if someone is famous or not, every person is important. Please say goodbye, and let’s go home and get you warmed up.”

The boy didn’t move, still studying Roman. “You play for the Destroyers, but you got hurt last year. Jim told me all about you.”

The center of Roman’s chest tightened for a second. He grinned. “Well, see, your mom told me all about your frogs getting out yesterday, so I guess we both know stuff about each other.”

The boy gave a silly laugh and pointed at Roman. “I watched you play on that big screen at the inn last year.”

Another surge of impossible emotion.
