Ty studied Mia. Something was going on behind those pretty but hesitant eyes of hers. Maybe she wasn’t sure she wanted to be around him for Christmas. Something was certainly wrong. “You don’t have to if you don’t want to. It’s completely up to you.”

She shivered in the cold, but finally her pretty lips lifted into a smile. “No, sorry. Christmas with all of your friends sounds like a lot of fun. I’d love to join y’all. Thank you for asking.” She wasn’t fooling him, something was still wrong. “My pleasure. Everyone is looking forward to meeting you. You met Dalton earlier and Maddie too, but her husband Cliff will be there along with his twin, Rafe and his wife Sadie. And Chase and his fiancé Amber will be there too. It’ll be a good sized group.” He could tell she was freezing so he started moving again. It was either that or wrap her up in his arms and kiss her till she was warm. He had kissing on his mind and he knew it. “Let’s find that tree and get you out of this cold.”

She didn’t argue.

They spent the next thirty minutes wandering through the cold in search of the perfect tree.

“Oh, it’s snowing!” Mia exclaimed as huge snowflakes suddenly began to drift gently down on them. She laughed and looked up into the falling snowflakes.

Ty knew he’d never seen anything so beautiful. His heart hammered like a thousand horses watching her.

She laughed. “I’ve seen snow everywhere and driven through snowstorms and yet when it snows here in our corner of the world I get so excited.” She turned with her arms held out and let the flakes settle on her.

“I think it’s the ease factor. When we get snow here in central Texas it's special and not heavy enough to linger and make a mess. It comes softly then leaves softly.”

She stared at him now with a quizzical expression. “Wow, you said that so perfectly, Mr. Horse Whisperer.”

He chuckled. “I’m trying.” The snow dusted her hair and her shoulders now and was coming down thicker by the second. She looked heavenward again and laughed, holding her palms outstretched she turned in a slow motion, being careful of her knee. Ty had to do everything in his power to keep his distance.

She stopped suddenly. “There. That’s it.” She pointed at a large perfect tree sitting on the edge of the hill. Snowflakes dusted the cedar tree emphasizing its shape perfectly.

Mia’s expression was joyful as she pulled her jacket close and looked from the tree to him. “What do you think?”

“Perfect,” he said, his voice gruff. “I’ll get the saw.” He spun and high-tailed it away from her as fast as he could. It was either that or him doing something he might regret; like taking her into his arms and claiming her soft lips with his.

Like exposing his heart when the time wasn’t right.

Too much was at stake for him to mess up now.
