A Christmas Story

The next morning, Bailey appeared to have taken to the idea of an adventure. “Odessa’s not far away, is it?” she asked on their trek to the gym.

“Yeah, it’s about twenty miles. We’ll need t’ bundle up, ‘cause it gets a little chilly on the bike,” he nodded. “But it’s close enough, it’s crowded too, so we’re goin’ early enough t’ beat th’ crowd. Hopefully, most people’ll be shopping, an’ that’s not what we’re gonna do.”

Going through her training, the girl continued to hold a pleased expression, and pressed for more while they walked back to change and prepare for the day. “You’re not going to give me a clue about what you’ve got planned?” she cajoled him with pleading green orbs. She emitted a tiny tinkle of a giggle when she caught his eye.

“Nope,” he joined in with a hearty laugh, “It wouldn’ be a surprise if I did!”

After their showers, Bailey cooked a good breakfast for them, and Caleb made a call to his boss to inform him that he wasn’t going in. Finally, the pair dressed warmly, and huddled on his bike for the longer trip to the neighboring town. She curled behind him to help block the wind, and she felt fortunate the community they headed towards lay west, as the rising sun felt good on her back as they rode.

“I dunno,” he grinned, leaning a shoulder against the clear wall so that he faced her. “If you can’t, we can learn together.”

Making their way to the restaurant down the way, they ordered a couple of warm drinks and shared a small amount of conversation. On the inside, Bailey’s spirits soared at the prospect of going skating. Growing curious at her quiet demeanor, he prodded, “Ok, so was this not a good surprise, or was it?”

Grinning, she nodded, “It’s a good one,” and she opened up to him, describing more of her past for him than she ever had before while they waited. Sticking to the parts that made her happy about her childhood, she took care to avoid the memories that didn’t. “You know I grew up in Illinois, so I’ve actually been on many skating adventures. I guess you could say, I really like the cold weather.”

“It’s not like this area, either,” she wafted a hand around before returning her fingers to the warm cup. “There’s actual trees and grass, and you can’t see all over creation, because the land has a bit more contour.”

Caleb took a noisy sip of coffee while he listened without interrupting. He had seen her home and where her family
