Chapter 5

The celebrations around the tree had been nice to witness and enjoy. The revelry between all the guests stranded because of the snow storm had been contagious. Lucas had been happy even before him and Lia joined them. While he liked the soiree that had been planned, he’d have been just as happy if it he’d been alone with Lia.

“If you had one wish,” he turned to Lia and asked. “What would it be?”

She smiled up at him. “There’s nothing I’d like more than to capture this moment and never let it go. I wish there was a way to preserve it.”

Lucas had a similar wish, but this was only the beginning. He just needed to find a way for her to open up to him. She’s said very little to him about her past, her family, and why she’d left home. He doubted she’d agree to an impromptu marriage so soon after meeting him. It was rather preposterous he was considering it himself. They’d been acquainted less than a day. Yet, he couldn’t shake the feeling that they were fated to be together. “That would be a novel idea,” he said to her. “To rewind time and relive it whenever the notion appealed to us. It would be wonderful to revisit some of our favorite memories at the snap of our fingers.”

“We do have those memories inside here.” She tapped her head. “So we can go back from time to time, but I don’t think it’s the same. As time goes by those memories are altered or we don’t recall them in the same way as we believe.”

“You sound as if you’re speaking from experience.” What memory was she talking about? What changed for her? Lucas wanted to know everything about her, but he also realized that they would need to take their time learning those details about each other. “What has you suddenly so melancholy?” Sadness nearly poured from her gaze. He wanted to erase it if he could.

“It’s nothing,” she said. “As I said… Some things are worth remembering and I fear that this day will be lost to me one day. Let’s enjoy it while we can.”

He lifted his hand and caressed her cheek. “Let’s go somewhere we can be alone.” If her desire was to hold on to this day and all it had in store for them—then he’d give her every moment of it he could. They would be able to make the best of the precious time they had together away from the crowd in the salon in front of them. He’d like to kiss her once more too if she’d allow it.

“I’d like that,” Lia replied. “Where would we go? It’s too bad the storm is still raging. It would be lovely if we could walk outside.”

Lucas would rather not brave the snowstorm—or the freezing air. Truthfully, he hated the idea of taking a stroll in the bitter cold. He favored the warm air of spring or the sultry heat of summer.
