Chapter 12

“Are you ready?” Rym called down the hallway where he stood, skis in hand, boots thrown over his shoulder, and his helmet already clicked in place. After a week of nonstop meetings and lectures from Amber on everything from finance to organizing files, both digital and actual folders, Rym was more than ready for a day on the slopes.

Amber was making good on her promise to ski. In fact, it had been on her to-do list every day since they’d talked about it. However, Rym insisted they have at least three uninterrupted hours for her first lesson, and today was the first day they’d been able to work in the time.

“I’m coming.” Amber glided down the hallway in an oversized sweater and a pair of black leggings. She had on thick socks, and a designer coat was thrown over her arm.

“Where’s your ski gear?”

Amber beamed. “Right here.” She lifted her arm with the coat.

Rym rubbed his hand over his face. “That’s it? I thought you said you went shopping?”

Amber’s smile didn’t decrease in size, but it dimmed somehow, like she had to work to keep it in place. She’d been doing that a lot this week, every morning when he reached for the cereal and every evening when he warmed up a can of soup and she ate something that looked incredible. He had no idea how she managed to make the food she did; it looked like the meals the chefs at Iron Mountain created for their guests. It smelled wonderful, too.

She always offered him some and he always declined. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to eat it. It was the principle of the thing. He had to have some say in this relationship or he’d go crazy.

With a heavy sigh, he leaned his skis against the wall and unclicked his helmet.

“What’s wrong?” asked Amber, her molten chocolate eyes full of concern.

“We need to get you proper ski gear.”

“Won’t this work?” She gestured to her clothing.

While it was attractive, and what a lot of women wore to hang around the lodge, it was not at all appropriate for extended outdoor wear.

Rym set his boots by his skis with a thud. “Look, I don’t mean to offend you.” He realized she may not have been the one to pick out the coat. That supervisor that came through town looking like an under stuffed teddy bear in her ridiculous fur coat might have been the culprit. “Or Trish. But you have no idea how to shop for winter clothing.”

Amber’s hands went to her hips.

Before she could go all pancake crazy on him again Rym barreled forward, both verbally and physically. He pointed down at her feet. “Thick socks will help your feet stay warm, but they will hurt inside a ski boot. You need to buy ski socks.”

Amber looked down at her feet. Rym took advantage of her distraction to brush his fingers over her collar bone. “Your sweater is pretty, but you aren’t wearing base layers. You should have at least one, maybe two layers under this.
