After breakfast, Carrie and I did some sightseeing and people watching. The snow and the subzero temperature made it hard to determine if people were huddling close for warmth or love. But we made our own assumptions. No surprise Carrie was convinced they were all long-lost lovers.

We were both in our element as Carrie was off taking pictures, and I sat on a park bench watching passersby. There is something almost forbidden about watching other people interact because you’re a voyeur on their life’s journey, wondering which way the chips will fall.

After a couple of hours, Carrie and I decided to head back to the hotel because her nose rivaled Rudolph’s. The thought of her red button nose has me smiling, which just confirms what I knew from the first moment we met.

I like Carrie, and the more time I spend with her, the more that like only seems to grow.

Today at the café with Mason, I knew that I was jealous—the violent need to maim him validated this. But this is ridiculous. I haven’t even known this woman a week, and I’m ready to throw down and mark her as mine.

This has never happened before. Even with Liz.

Yes, the attraction was there, but what I feel for Carrie, I just can’t explain it…and it has nothing to do with my writer’s block because coming here has unplugged the mental drought. Well, for now anyway.

After we came back to the hotel, Carrie crashed, but I couldn’t sleep. I was dog tired, but I had so many thoughts bouncing around my head, and I had to get them down. Three hours later, my first chapter was complete.

I stared at the screen for about twenty minutes, unbelieving that I actually did it. After being shrouded in nothing but doubt, seeing your words before you—words you don’t hate—is the most rewarding feeling in the entire world.

I felt lighter somehow.

Feeling victorious, I knew a drink was in order, but the moment I stood and my eyes landed on Carrie’s sleeping form, I knew my thirst could only be quenched by her. Her auburn hair contrasted the crispness of the white pillow, and unable to stop myself, I walked to where she lay.

Her chest rose and fell, sweet breaths fanning the strands of hair from her rosy cheek. She looked so peaceful, so innocent, but nothing was innocent about this fierce woman. She is far braver than I am.

And just like that, I was once again struck with inspiration, which led me to write half of chapter two. I’m currently three thousand words in.

The story stars none other than our heroes—Max and Audrey. It seems fitting to begin with them. What Carrie and I witnessed was just too priceless not to put into words, so my story begins in a diner on a cold Christmas morning…

It’s dark out, and my shoulders and fingers are begging for a reprieve, but I promise myself another thousand words, and then I’ll be done.

“Hey.” Carrie’s sleepy voice stirs the beast within.
