May All Your Christmases Be White….

THE WEATHERMAN lied.

Halfway up Route 94 the snow started coming down so hard they couldn’t see the road in front of them or anything behind. Drew put the SUV in low gear and turned on his hazard lights.

“Wow. This is bad.”

Hill rubbed fog off the passenger window. “Was this your plan, get us stuck in the middle of a snowstorm so the state police or National Guard has to come along and rescue us?”

“No. I wanted to get you alone in the cabin and have my wicked way with you.” Drew ducked his head to try to see over the snow accumulating on the windshield. The wipers had no hope of keeping up with the fall.

Laughter, full, rich, and deep, came from the passenger side. Drew risked a glance at Hill. God, he’d missed that sound. He breathed it in greedily, afraid it was all an auditory hallucination caused by the stress of driving in a blizzard with Hill.

“You think that’s funny?”

Hill shook his head. “Hilarious.”

“Glad I could crack you up.”

“Well, come on, think about it. You went all the way to Seattle to get away from me. I doubt having your wicked way with me even enters the picture anymore.”

“What about that kiss under the mistletoe the other day? You can’t say that wasn’t hot.” Just the memory had Drew’s heart beating double time.

Hill waved his hand in the air, dismissing the experience. “A punishment for not giving in to you sooner.”

“Is that what you think?”

A snow-covered blue sign was barely visible on the side of the road. Oh shit.

“Hill, did that sign say Welcome to Pennsylvania?”

Hill’s face went white. “I wasn’t aware 94 ran into Pennsylvania.”

“It doesn’t. It becomes 611. It also means somehow we’ve gotten turned around and are heading in the wrong direction.” Drew pulled over to the side of the road and plugged the cabin’s address into GPS.

“Calculating.”

“Why didn’t you use that before?”

Drew raised a brow at Hill. “Because I’ve been up to the cabin a thousand times and don’t need GPS to find it.”

“Well, apparently you do.”

“It’s this storm. It’s horrible. I can’t see anything.”

Hill let out what sounded like a long-suffering sigh. “Then find a hotel and pull over. We’ll stay there until the storm blows over and go to the cabin in the morning.”

Drew’s mouth went dry at the thought. It did have merit, though. Better to actually live to win Hill back than to die in a blizzard on bad Jersey roads. “Sounds like a plan, but let’s turn this buggy around and get heading in the right direction first.”

He made the maneuver as slow and safe as possible under the hazardous conditions. Even the four-wheel drive tried to slip and slide from the coating of ice underneath.

“It’s getting worse the longer we’re out here,” Drew observed. Even the inside of the windshield had started to fog.

“Just think, if we die out here, it was in the pursuit of an apology.”

“We aren’t going to die.”
