As Grant drove into Bozeman on Saturday morning, he watched the clouds drift across the sky. It was the kind of morning he loved—a blue sky that was so bright it nearly hurt his eyes and a cold breeze that reminded him it was good to be alive.

He’d expected the traffic to be heavier than normal and he wasn’t disappointed. The Winter Festival brought everyone into town, including tourists and families from as far away as Missoula, Great Falls, and Billings. Parking would be at a premium, so he’d decided to come into town early.

A lot of good that did him. Everyone had thought the same thing. He took the first park he saw and grabbed his jacket out of the back of his truck.

He’d spent most of last night tidying his home, making sure Mallory would be impressed. He still didn’t know what she was hiding, but they’d both been too busy to talk about it.

“Uncle Grant!”

He turned around and saw Bella madly waving from the middle of the sidewalk. Rachel and John were beside her, and Tank and Tanner were behind them.

He waited for them to join him and smiled at the excitement on Bella’s face.

“It’s nearly time for our figure skating program.”

Grant laughed. “It’s still an hour away.”

“I know, but we have to warm up and everything. Do you like my makeup?”

“It’s beautiful. Your glitter will sparkle when you’re skating.”

Bella grinned at Rachel. “See…I told you Uncle Grant would like my makeup.”

Rachel gave her step-daughter a hug. “Yes, you did. Are you heading to Bogert Park, Grant?”

“I am.” He held out his arm to Bella. “May I escort my ice princess to the festival?”

Bella nodded and held onto his arm. “I’m really nervous,” she whispered.

“Why?”

“I might fall over or bang into someone. Zoe banged into Aimee at our practice on Wednesday.”

“No one will be worried if something doesn’t go to plan. Just keep skating.”

“And smiling,” she added. “That’s what Mallory told us.”

“Mallory would know.”

Bella sighed. “I hope Mallory keeps teaching us how to skate.”

“Why wouldn’t she?”

“Mr. Groves from Haynes Pavilion came and saw her on Wednesday. Natasha overheard him say that he was increasing the rink fees. If it gets too expensive, we might not be able to practice there.”

“Who pays the rink fees at the moment?”

“I don’t know.”

Grant thought back over something John had said. He had a feeling that Mallory was paying the fees herself. “Don’t worry. Mallory enjoys teaching you how to figure skate.”

“That’s what I told Natasha.”

“The only thing you need to do is enjoy the Winter Festival. Look over there.” He pointed to the bright caravans in Bogert Park. “I bet there’s probably a booth selling doggie treats.”

Bella turned to her dad. “Can we find a present for Milo?”

John nodded. “We’ll have to be quick.”

Bella led Grant toward the edge of the sidewalk. “Let’s go, Uncle Grant. Milo will be so happy if I bring something home for him.”

Grant waited for a break in the traffic before crossing the road. They had a big day ahead of them, and it was only just beginning.
