Leslie sat in the same spot for a long while after he left thinking about everything he’d said. His parting line had been a killer and had set her pulse racing. She’d seen nothing but sincerity in his eyes when he’d said it. He wasn’t done with her, not by a long shot.

His story melted her heart, and she wasn’t even going to pretend she could stay angry at him after that. She stood up and walked over to the fridge to pull out some wine. She grimaced when she caught her reflection in the kitchen mirror; she looked a mess.

She could only imagine how much pain he’d experienced when he lost his small family. She hurt for him. She poured up a glass and sat back down. How was she going to handle this? Maks was a free-living artist who spent his time searching for his muse and she was a former librarian with a fixed routine whose favorite place was her small book-filled apartment.

In the end, they would never work. But she couldn’t make herself leave. She now wanted to know more about Maks. No, she wouldn’t run, but she would watch him carefully. She had a feeling that he was easy to love as well.

The next day while making a pot pie, she tried to keep her giddiness to a minimum. She was a grown ass woman. She wasn’t supposed to be mooning over some man. Yet here she was, waiting for him to arrive. When lunch time hit and he was still a no-show, she grew worried. He’d told her he would see her in the morning, and she knew he’d meant it.

She worked on her novel, slowly laying the groundwork for the new world she wanted to build. She’d finally decided on the conflict and now she was working on what her hero would be like. By dinner time, she stopped and looked at her stacks of note cards describing the characters and scowled when she realized her hero sounded and acted a lot like Maks.

When he didn’t show up for dinner, she got worried. She tried to talk herself out of it but lost the battle; she threw on jeans and a t-shirt and wrapped herself in a large oversized sweater. She realized immediately that she needed more than the sweater to combat the freezing temperatures. She started shivering about halfway to his cabin. From her front window his place didn’t look far away, but out here in this snow, it felt like miles.

She knocked on the door and no one answered. She checked his garage and the truck was still there. She wondered if Maks kept the spare key in the same place Alex had told her about for the other cabin. It took her a few minutes to find the right rock and pull out the key.

She opened the door.

“Maks are you here?” she called out as she stepped inside. This cabin was set up similarly to hers. Once she was further in, she yelled his name and waited.
