They brushed off most of the snow, took their boots off, and left them by the door. They hung their coats, made some hot soup with buttered bread, and finished it off with cups of hot cocoa. They sat in the living room with the Christmas tree lit, feeling better and warmer after the hot meal. It had been a long, tough battle, and both had given it their all.

“You put up a courageous fight, Jack,” Alice said, wearing her sweater, jeans, her feet covered in damp socks.

Jack looked at Alice over his cup of cocoa and narrowed his eyes, his pride hurt over Alice’s victory. “Hmmm,” he said, contemptuously.

“Jack, you’re not mad at me, are you?”

“Hmmm,” he said, again.

“Jack, it was just a snowball fight.”

“Oh, it was much more than a snowball fight, Alice dear. If my father had taught me how to throw like Curt Schilling, it would’ve been an even match. But nooooo. You had to go and surprise me with that wonder arm of yours. Who ever heard of a girl who could throw a smoking fastball? You should pitch in the majors.”

“Frosty raises the pink flag, indeed!” Jack said. “What a traitor!”

“Maybe he has a thing for the ladies,” Alice said.
