I trudged through the knee-deep snow knowing there was no right time or way to tell Allen about my failure to keep my promise. Still, having him find me in his daughter’s bedroom when he was out wasn’t the ideal way. My feet sank into the deep drifts, shoes getting filled with the white powder that melted and made my socks soggy. I must have looked a sight to any neighbors nosy enough to watch me round the end of the house toward the road. A fifty-year-old man leaping from a window in the middle of winter? When I got to my car, I shook the snow off my pant legs, but they were soggy too. I’d have to get them to the cleaners to make sure they didn’t get ruined. I hadn’t expected to have to sneak out when Ellen tempted me into the house. I knew it was a bad idea the whole time, but I followed her like a fish chasing bait and now I was paying for it.

As I sat behind the wheel of my car and started it, I looked up at the house. I could have sworn I saw Allen there in the window, watching, but the curtains jostled and whoever it was vanished. My nerves had my hands shaking as I put the car in gear and drove away. Ellen would get the brunt of his anger if it was him, which didn’t make me feel any better about the whole situation.

And I had never been much for dealing with the unknowns.

At home, I parked my car and made my way inside to warm up. I left my wet shoes by the door and peeled my socks off. I had no bag with me, hadn’t expected to stay in Yellow Springs, and my tuxedo might as well be ruined, shoes too. But she was worth it. If she wasn’t, I would never have gone into her room with her, or followed her into the house, for that matter. Ellen had a way of making me do things I’d otherwise not do, and part of that was exhilarating.

I smiled as I sat on the edge of my bed and unbuttoned my shirt. I had felt like a kid again as we made our way up that driveway to her parents’ house. How long had it been since I snuck in—or out? The rush of nearly getting caught made my grin grow. I chuckled to myself at the thought. I
