CHAPTER 5

“O h, wow, how long were we in there?” Maisey asked when they exited the store. Between the time they’d finally entered the store and the time they’d left, it had snowed nearly a foot or more.

Cam glanced at his watch. Unlike the rest of the world, who had either switched over to fitness bands or used their cell phones to check the time, Cam had one of those enormous scientific watches which probably told him what time it was in China along with the temperature and barometer reading.

“Three hours,” he said with a groan. “I’ve never seen this much snow in my life. Actually, I’ve never seen snow before at all.”

“This is your first time seeing snow?” Maisey’s voice raised in excitement. “Mind-boggling, isn’t it?”

He blew out an audible breath. “That’s one way of putting it. I never imagined snow could fall this fast.”

“Welcome to winter in Wyoming. One second you’re getting a sunburn and the next you have to drive on snowmobiles to get around. I did get a storm warning text for this area earlier. I suppose I should have paid a little more attention to where, when and how much.”

“Where I come from, storm means a little rain, maybe some hail at worst.”

“In hindsight, we probably should have taken my four-wheel drive instead of your sedan, but it’s too late now. We’ll have to do with what we have.”

He ran a palm down his jaw, looking as befuddled as ever. The poor man was in a constant state of bewilderment with his life turning all topsy-turvy like this. Even the weather was baffling him.

“It’ll be next to impossible to push the cart out to your car,” she said. “Why don’t you drive it up to the curb and I’ll load everything into your trunk?”

“Er—yeah. Right.” He pulled the collar of his coat up to shield his neck, yanked his keys from his pocket and stalked toward the car, one careful foot at a time.

“I think you’re going to need to invest in a pair of snow boots,” she called after him.

He didn’t answer. Whether it was because her statement was the outside of obvious or he couldn’t hear her over the wind, she couldn’t say.

Getting the sedan to the curb turned out to be much more problematic than Maisey had originally anticipated. Cam backed out of the parking space okay but then lost his traction when he switched the sedan into drive. His wheels spun but the car went nowhere. The parking lot was overcrowded and people were honking at him from both sides, eager to claim his half-vacated space.

Maisey waited to see if Cam would be able to work out the issue on his own, but it soon became apparent he was well and truly stuck. She glanced at their overfilled cart—including some items they’d garnered the hard way, fighting through the crowds. Did she dare leave everything where it was to go help Cam?

Finally realizing she didn’t really have a choice, she covered
