CHAPTER 11

CARLY

Turned out Bran had a gear closet that included coats, hats, and gloves in every conceivable size and color. Being cold-natured, Carly bundled up with multiple layers.

“You look like that kid from the Christmas movie,” Liam told her. “I’m not sure you’ll be able to bend with that much stuff on.”

“I’ll take the risk,” Carly said.

Though she’d secretly been worried about how Liam would get around, she shouldn’t have. He explained that he loved being outdoors in the winter, and there were more adaptations for people with paralysis than she’d ever imagined.

He was even proficient at skiing on some kind of agile sled contraption he sat on, while his hands operated a short ski-footed pole on each side. She loved the enthusiasm in his sparkling green eyes as he described the rush of flying down the slopes. Maybe meeting Liam had been providential, after all. Picturing him happy and enjoying his life would ease her mind, so she could finally let him go. She could end her pointless, juvenile crush and move on.

Then he mentioned how fun it would be for them to go skiing together someday, even though she’d told him earlier they couldn’t have a relationship. The guy didn’t dissuade easily.

But she knew they couldn’t have a future together. Though he didn’t realize it yet, both of them were haunted by the past they shared. And if that wasn’t enough to turn him off, her bald head would be. Wearing her wig and lashes was kind of like using a Hollywood filter on her pictures. She looked pretty good, but it wasn’t real. And Liam had enough baggage to carry around without being saddled with her ailment in addition.

Like every other guy, he would be shocked out of his gourd to see her without hair. She imagined he might be so nice he would swear it didn’t matter. But it would. It wasn’t like cancer treatment, where her hair loss was a temporary thing. Alopecia universalis was likely to be permanent.

Driving the snow-wheelers, as Liam called the four-wheelers with tracks for the snow, was a blast. They didn’t go too fast, so it wasn’t scary at all. They left one at the bottom of the giant hill and took the other one to the top, towing the sleds behind them. Then Carly went careening down, screaming with glee the entire way. At the bottom, she toppled over and landed in a pile of snow, laughing. Liam came down behind her, somehow steering his sled to a stop beside her.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes! That was so much fun! Let’s do it again!”

His knitted brows relaxed. “You liked it? I thought you were terrified, the way you were screaming.”

“That was me having a great time. You should try it. It’s way more fun if you scream.”

“Okay.” His expression was dubious.

“You’ll see.” Carly fetched the snow-wheeler and brought it to Liam. He looped the towropes over the hitch, and they dragged the sleds back up the long hill. Then they repeated the process of parking one vehicle at the bottom.
