It was rare for them to get snow this late in the season, but several days later, snow was gently falling. Reid held Ashlynn’s hand as they walked around the courtyard of their apartment building. She had mentioned wanting to build a snowman and at first he’d thought she was kidding. But once she dragged him outside and began planning where she wanted to set up, he quickly got on board.

“So your father left today, huh?”

“Yeah. Patrick and Marissa really wanted to get back home because they have to figure out how to handle a temporary move here.” She bent over and began rolling a large snowball. “I feel bad that none of us have enough room for them to just crash with us, but Marissa was pretty emphatic about them needing a place where they can go to at the end of the day and just…I don’t know…decompress.”

He nodded. “Well, they are basically taking on a lot of stuff here in Sweetbriar. It’s still a little bizarre to me how no one who lives local was willing to step up and take some action to bring this town back to life. If your brother hadn’t taken the initiative…”

“I know. And that is crazy to me. I mean…Levi used to avoid coming home at all costs. So to have him be the guy who saved the town?” She laughed. “Crazy.”

“Did your cousin find a house or apartment to rent?”

“They’re actually going to rent one of the apartments right here. There’s a two bedroom on the first floor and they worked out a deal with the landlord for a short-term lease.”

“Wow!” He began rolling his own giant snowball into part of the body for their snowman. “That’s going to be great for them—having you so close by.”

She rolled her part of the snowman closer to him and took a minute to contemplate something. “Maybe. I don’t think they really need me. They’ve got a great team of people they’re working with and they’ll be super busy trying to get everything done with renovations and all that. Plus, with Marissa being pregnant, I don’t think they’re going to be staying as long as they originally planned.” Pausing, she bent back over. “I think this needs to be bigger.”

They worked together getting the bottom part just right before Reid added his piece on top of it.

It still felt a little surreal to him that he was back in Sweetbriar Ridge and standing here making a snowman with Ashlynn. It didn’t matter that it had been almost a month already; it still boggled his mind a bit. Whenever he envisioned coming back here, he figured he’d eventually run into her and apologize and…then it was sort of anyone’s guess where they landed. Obviously, he could have come back and realized that what he had was just a high school crush, or she could have been dating someone or married, or she could have moved away and he never saw her again. But to have this turn of events and end up dating her? Yeah, it still sometimes felt funny.
