CHAPTER 10 – BROOKE

Anthony drove around Boise, pulling over in a mostly empty parking lot. Though the city was as busy as ever, people weren’t really out enjoying the weather. It was probably too cold. The snow fell harder, turning the park into a winter wonderland.

“What are we doing here?” she asked.

“C’mon,” he said. Before she could argue, he’d already exited.

As she stepped out into the snow, a chilly breeze ruffled her hair, and she pulled her stocking cap down tightly over her ears.

He gestured for her to follow.

“What, you want to go for a walk?”

“Yes,” he replied, “I thought we could walk along the Greenbelt for a while.

The Greenbelt was a river that ran through Boise, lined with trees and parks and whatnot, stretching for miles. Normally she would have loved to walk some of it, but not today.

“I wore the wrong shoes for a walk,” she said.

He glanced down at her tennis shoes already a bit more wet than she found comfortable.

“Shoot,” he murmured, “A walk is out then?”

Brooke reached down and grabbed a handful of snow, packing it into a ball. He watched her cautiously, which was unfortunate, because it barely clipped his shoulder when she threw it at him.

He immediately retaliated, quickly creating a snowball of his own and returning fire. Laughing, she ducked behind the far side of his car and prepared her assault.

“Oh, you’re in trouble now,” he laughed, lobbing a shot at her when she peeked out.

He was a better shot than her, and almost took her stocking cap off.

For the better part of fifteen minutes, the snow war played out with no real winner. They both got in a few good shots, her best and last shot being when she gave him a mouthful of snow.

“Okay, okay, you win,” he declared, “C’mon, let’s go get warm.”

She climbed in next to him and shivered.

“Your hands are frozen,” he said, “Here, let me warm them up.”

Her took her hands in his.

“Yours are as cold as mine,” she laughed.

“I’m afraid so. He brought her fingers to his mouth and breathed on them.

The silly gestured made her feel a little warm inside. His lips were so close to her fingertips she could reach out and touch them. And though his hands were cold, she found herself warming up rather quickly.

Anthony started the car.

“Where to now?” she asked.

“I’m going to make you some hot coca.”

“That sounds wonderful,” she replied.

But as he drove, her heart fluttered as she realized that he meant they were now heading to his house.

So far, he’d taken her out for breakfast and played in the snow. He hadn’t made any demands of her at all. Was he just getting her defenses down?
