The snow started falling real fast and heavy by the time I pulled my truck up to the front of the cabin. The picture of my parents’ summer home looked more like a log mansion draped in white, than a cabin. The drive had been an icy one and I knew, although Amara would never admit it, she was happy I forced her to ride with me.

“Well,” she sighed as she looked into the back seat at the piles of grocery bags. “Happy I wore boots.”

By boots, she meant the cream colored Uggs with the big brown button on the side. The girl had a few pairs of these boots and I wondered if the things were actually warm and comfortable, because style-wise, they weren’t the hottest things around.

Still, they were cute enough on Amara, because if she could pull off fuzzy purple socks, then she could pull off Uggs.

Killing the engine, I twisted to look at her. That’s when I saw her cheeks were pink and her eyes were wide as she stared through the windshield. I knew what she was seeing. She saw a huge overdone vacation house that people with money indulged themselves with. She saw excess. She saw pathetic.

My throat tightened as I said, “I’ll grab the suitcases.”

I didn’t see her blink in startled awe as she pulled her eyes from the big cabin. I was already in the deep snow, slamming my door closed behind me. I was lifting the latch of my cover to pull our suitcases from the back when she called, “These groceries are going to take a few trips to bring in.”

That was saying something as the girl turned into The Hulk on grocery days. If there was something Amara hated more than making multiple trips from the vehicle to the condo on grocery days, I had yet to find it. The girl loaded herself until I thought she’d collapse like a little paper doll every time.

I followed her to the door and mentally noted I’d have to shovel the stone path before anyone else arrived. My parents’ had a family who lived close by employed to maintain the cabin while they were at the main house, which was most of the year. Still, although I could tell the path had been shoveled a few times, the snow was falling hard enough to demand another.

My eyes fell on the little woman with the cute gray beanie as she waddled up the carved log steps to the front door. Turning, she barked an order that had me fighting my grin. “Will you get a move on? My arms are gonna fall off soon.”

“Heavy groceries?”

“You bought half the store, what did you expect?”

I did as she demanded and got a move on, shoving my key into the front door and pushing it open. The sky was cloudy and gray, so the inside of the cabin was dark without the light from the sun. Amara dropped the groceries to the floor and I set the suitcases next to the wide oak bench.
