Standing in front of the full-length mirror nestled in the corner of the cozy master bedroom, I admire the woman staring back at me. As a little girl, I dreamed of spending Christmas at the cabin with a boy. Some girls wanted Prince Charming in a castle, but I’d dream of my very own Kristoff in the wilderness, the snow around us. Granted, Frozen didn’t come out until I was out of the princess stage, but he was the first real male lead that I could imagine myself with living the whole “happily ever after” in my very own fairy tale. He was rugged, a little broody, and a blue-collar worker.

I never imagined myself settling down with a preppy guy who expected to be waited on and afraid to get his hands dirty. It’s funny because Gregg definitely fits the frat boy persona that a Prince Charming might carry rather than the rugged lumberjack vibes Kristoff had. But he’s never flaunted his wealth. He’s never shied away from hard work. He’s quiet and shy. A bit nerdy but endearing. Compassionate. Dedicated. Hard-working. I thought when I moved to Texas that my dream of spending Christmas in Michigan with a guy was over. But seeing Gregg in this setting, I can picture it. I can picture the happily ever after I’ve been dreaming of since I was a little girl.

After breakfast, the day quickly melted into the evening as the bright, sunny winter day faded into the most beautiful golden hour, painting the cabin in stunning hues of yellow and orange. My parents arranged for a surprise dinner of steak served with shrimp, mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables to be sent to our cabin, which we quickly consumed.

Today was the true definition of relaxation as we laid around all day. Gregg watched the CTU basketball game while I read. The snow fell all afternoon in a steady shower, kicking up large scattered squalls, but the fire kept us warm. It felt like we were living in a real-life snow globe.

There’s only one thing left for us to do tonight.

Hot tub.

Walking back to the main living space, I pause at the end of the hallway and watch a relaxed Gregg. The room is lit up in a soft orange glow from the fire and the flashing light of the TV. Glancing up from the game recap, Gregg looks in my direction before turning back to the screen. As quickly as he looks away, his gaze captures mine again. I watch his chest rapidly rise and fall. His eyes smolder as his gaze trails a heated path up my legs to my exposed stomach, stopping on the bikini top that leaves little to the imagination, before coming up to meet my eyes, where a seductive smirk curls my lips. I knew picking this tiny red bikini with the triangle-shaped top and very cheeky bottoms was the right choice.

“Holy shit,” he rasps, eyes cascading back down my body.

“Hot tub?” I ask. Without replying, Gregg stands from the couch, and in three big strides, he’s past me in the direction of the bedroom.
