Abi was the pitiful one. Why couldn’t she stay away from him? Sleeping fitfully last night, all she could think about was how Stone had looked at her when she first saw him at the restaurant, like she was love and hope and joy all combined. Did he feel any of that or was she reading something into nothing?

She’d driven past the house he was remodeling in Midway ten times this morning before finally admitting the truth. She missed him … horribly. It was like a root canal that she had to deal with or she knew she’d be eternally in pain. Stone didn’t want her as a girlfriend. He didn’t love her. It ripped her up that she had no chance with the love of her life, but they’d been friends for too long. She couldn’t just dump ties she’d made since childhood, and she couldn’t tell her heart not to love him.

She and Stone had gotten their gear and skis on and were riding up the ski lift named “Quincy” at Deer Valley. The air was crisp, and the view was spectacular, but she was just thrilled to have Stone by her side. He stretched his arm behind her on the seat. He hadn’t talked much on the way to pick up his skis and season pass and drive to the resort, but that was okay. He’d asked her a few questions about work, and she’d rattled on with stories and had even gotten him to smile a few times. Thankfully, he hadn’t asked about Truman. Her date last night had been lame and confirmed once again that nobody could compare to Stone for her. Dang him.

She let herself look away from the picturesque view below them to his handsome face, sadly remembering how the smooth skin had felt against her cheek and lips. His dark hair curled out from underneath his helmet. She wanted to touch it. She sighed.

“You okay?” he asked, turning to her.

“I’ve missed you.” She admitted, ducking her head. She hated that she always had to be the one to bring up anything like that, to always put her heart out there, but it was what it was. She’d chosen to be best friends with Stone Cold for probably the thousandth time, and it obviously wasn’t going to be easy.

Stone nodded slowly.

“You could say you missed me too.” She practically threw the words at him. Honestly. It was like pulling a seven-year-old’s teeth.

Stone chuckled. Then he started laughing and couldn’t stop. They reached the top of the lift, grabbed their poles, and stood, gliding down to the right side toward Blue Bell, a moderate run they both enjoyed.

“Oh, Abi.” Stone swiped a gloved hand over his face, shook his head, and started laughing again.

Abi put her hands on her hips. “You’re a jerk, you know that?” She put her goggles in place, pushed off with her poles, and took off down the slope.

She veered off through the trees into the powder, knowing he would follow, but she needed to keep her distance for a few minutes to remind herself that this was Stone.
