twelve.

I must have fallen asleep on the way home because I awoke to Caeden’s arms wrapped around me as he laid me on my bed. I cracked my eyes open and he said, “Hey, beautiful.”

“Sorry, I fell asleep,” I said groggily.

He started taking my shoes off. “I actually thought it was pretty darn cute.”

I groaned and took my hat off throwing it across my room. I felt a slight bounce on the mattress and then Archie lay down next to me. Caeden turned to leave.

“Wait!” I called and he paused.

“Yeah?” he said turning.

“Thanks for tonight.”

He smiled. “Better than studying?” he asked.

“Way better,” I said smiling.

He started towards the door. “Wait!” I called again. He looked back at me a full blown grin on his face. Despite being half asleep I stood. I took his face between my hands and kissed him slowly and deeply. “Now you can go,” I whispered against his lips.

“Not yet,” he breathed pressing his lips firmly to mine. My mouth opened under his. When he saw that I wasn’t going to resist he gentled the kiss.

Gram chose that moment to walk by my room. I heard her footsteps pause and then she spoke. “If you two keep that up I’ll be a great-grandma. You best stop that now.”

Caeden chuckled against my lips. “Love you too Lucinda. Love you too.”

Satisfied she walked away.

“Bye,” said Caeden pressing his lips once again to mine.

“Bye,” I said.

He grinned and left.

I changed into my pajamas and climbed under the covers. For once, Archie gave me my pillow. “Thanks,” I muttered to the little dog. He wrinkled his nose at me and then started snoring. I laughed and in moments was sound asleep.

A strange white light filled my room when I woke up. I pushed the quilt off of me and cracked the blinds in the window that was beside my bed. I smiled to myself. It looked like a winter wonderland outside. It couldn’t be more than two or three inches but it was beautiful. It covered the various trees outside my window in a fine dust.

A light knock on my door had me turning. “Hey sleepyhead,” Gram said.

I looked back out the window and startled at the amount of light outside my window. It had to be after first period. “Oh crap,” I said jumping up.

Gram chuckled. “Don’t worry. School’s cancelled.”

“Oh,” I said stopping in my tracks.

“Here,” she said holding out a cup of hot chocolate.

“Thanks,” I said taking it. I took a sip and let the silky, chocolaty, goodness slip down my throat. “You’re amazing Gram,” I said holding up the cup.

“I’m still planning to open up the shop today. Would you mind working too much?” she asked.

“Of course not,” I said.

“Great,” she replied. “I’ll make you some breakfast and then you can head over.”

I finished my hot chocolate and then jumped in the shower. I blew my hair dry and then pulled it back in a ponytail. I put on a black long-sleeved shirt and then put my Lucinda’s shirt on over it.
