“OH, THERE YOU ARE, DEAR!” Miss Betty exclaimed. “I was hoping to see you before we’re off for the holiday.”

I tensed at the reminder that Christmas was two days away. A holiday meant to be spent with friends and family, not skis and the mountain.

A holiday that Kyle wanted me to spend with him.

My hands paused from drying myself off from my short morning session in the Hydroworx. The time I spent at the gym dwindled to about an hour in the morning just to warm up my muscles and get my blood pumping before I hit the slopes for the rest of the day.

I turned to see Miss Betty approaching me, her cane hung over her arm like it was an umbrella instead of a walking aid.

“So sorry to miss you on Monday. I was feeling a bit under the weather,” the older woman said with a smile before asking, “How did everything go at the show?”

“Good.” I flushed again at the memory, refocusing on drying my legs. “I have your video.”

“Oh, I don’t care about the video, dear.”

My head whipped up to glare at her.

“Oh,” she stammered. “Of course, I care about the video.”

Liar.

I bit back a groan. I knew I’d been fooled but still.

“Well, you’re watching it whether you care about it or not,” I retorted, picking up my cell from the bench and searching for the clip I’d taken.

“Oh, my,” she gasped. “And here I thought he couldn’t get any more perfect.”

I was tempted to say, ‘well, you should see him in bed.’ But that was totally fucked up and even though I had a suspicion she would take it easily in stride, I kept my mouth shut.

“Now, if he would just move his hips a little more like Michael Jackson.” She sucked in a breath. “Now that would be deadly.”

I silently agreed.

“So, tell me, how did it go?” she cornered me again.

“Good. Fine.” Incredible.

I winced. This was my problem. Things always looked different in the morning when all the doubts and fears that hide in the shadows became visible again.

We’d woken up early at my alarm. By the time I got out of the shower, Kyle had already made us both smoothies with what he’d found in the fridge. I felt guilty that I wasn’t the one making them. We didn’t have time to sit and enjoy them together, unless sitting in the car on the way to the gym counted, yet every rushed and regimented moment of this morning had felt right.

Right up until we’d said goodbye… and Kyle asked me to spend Christmas with him and his friends.

I balked. And mumbled. And then fled without giving him a definite answer.

This Cinderella had already taken more than her one night, and I was afraid to find out how much borrowed time I could sneak before something catastrophic happened.

But I couldn’t because no matter how important he was becoming, my dream was important, too.

Though, as I walked away from his kiss this morning, I’d wondered
