After pacing the tiny cabin for too long, I tapped my phone and called Henry. It had been a whole night and day since I’d wanted to kiss Etienne. I’d barely slept, way too aware of his body so close to me.

I’d hardly breathed with longing. The bed had seemed smaller, Etienne right there, mumbling in his sleep as he’d shifted, his elbow brushing my ribs.

What was happening? Why was this temporary insanity not going away? We’d hung out and played League, which I’d sucked at massively because I kept getting distracted by the way he bit his tongue when he really concentrated.

Bree was feeling much better, and Etienne was back at the arena with her for the evening show. I glared at Henry’s pic on my screen. Why wasn’t he answering? I redialed.

He answered, his very monochrome condo coming into view. He sat at his little table, eating what was very likely vegetables, fish, and either wild rice or quinoa or some shit. He turned the phone so it could lean upright.

I said, “Hey, bro. You’re not at the rental house with the fam?” Like, obviously he wasn’t, and some people might have replied, “Duh.”

Not Henry. He knew what I was really asking and simply said, “It was a long day at the rink. I’m taking an extra day off tomorrow.” His black hair was damp, and he wore a gray sweatshirt. My brother was the handsome one of the two of us, and he always looked polished even after a shower.

“Hold on. You’re taking an extra day off? You? Henry Sakaguchi? Do I have the right number?”

He ignored me as he sliced into whatever was out of frame on his plate. “The Ice Chalet is hosting a New Year’s Eve family skating event that they need to prepare for, and it’ll be open to the public over the weekend as well.”

“So they’re forcing you to take a three-day weekend for once?”

“Mn.”

I laughed, leaning back against the decorated headboard, a Christmas light stabbing me under my shoulder blade. “Sounds about right. That’ll be cool that you can spend more time with Obaachan and Mom and Dad.”

He nodded as he chewed a small bit of what looked like salmon. I’m sure he had some home renovation show on HGTV paused on the TV. Another wild night for Henry. But who was I to talk? I was alone in a cabin in the mountains, still thinking about kissing my best friend.

Shit. Yeah, I was definitely still thinking about it. This wasn’t working.

“Sam?” Henry watched me with a furrow of concern.

“Huh? Yeah, I’m here! Spacey as always. Awww, is that Esmeralda? Let me see her?” A calico tail had appeared in the corner of the screen.

Gently, Henry clucked his tongue, waited, then did it again and picked her up so she knew it was coming. She was fluffy putty in his hands, and he cradled her.

“Hi, Esme!” I waved as if she understood because I’m a dork. I was glad Henry rescued her.
