About the time we got back to the cabin, the sky began to darken. Our day out had been relatively warm and the sky blue, so the change in weather seemed to come from out of nowhere.

“Wow. It’s too early for it to be dark yet,” I said as I leaned forward in my seat to look out the windshield in order to see the sky better. “It looks like a storm is coming.”

“That would explain the drop in temperature,” Liam said.

I gasped in excitement. “Do you think it might snow? I saw on the listing that this place can sometimes get snow.”

“I’m not sure. It’s not winter yet. It’ll probably just be a rainstorm.”

Bummed, I sat back in my seat. “Man, I was hoping we could light another fire and watch the snow fall outside while we drank hot cocoa.”

Liam laughed. “Did you even bring hot cocoa?”

“Yes, I did, doubting Thomas.”

“And you didn’t bust it out last night after we went in the hot tub, got locked out of the cabin, and froze our butts off?”

I shrugged. “Sorry. I didn’t even think of it last night. I was more focused on getting my sweats and fuzzy socks on. Besides, the wine kept us plenty warm.”

I looked away as my cheeks heated. A little too warm. Until everything had gone cold when Liam announced he wanted to go to bed … alone.

“True that. Alcohol does have a way of getting blood flowing in the body.”

We made it to the top of the hill and parked next to the cabin.

I reached into my purse before I got out to make sure I had the key ready. It wasn’t raining yet, but it was windy, and I didn’t want to mess around, digging in my purse for the key.

As the two of us ran to the front door, a big gust of wind came over the hill and blew right through my outfit. I thought it was almost colder now than when we had gotten out of the hot tub, soaking wet, last night.

Once inside, I said, “I think it’s another fire night.”

Liam rubbed his bare arms. “I agree.”

I shook my head and smiled. “I told you to wear something long-sleeved before we left this morning.”

“It was nice out,” he protested. He looked me up and down. “You didn’t dress much warmer.”

He was right. My long-sleeved shirt was thin, and I was wearing sandals.

“That just means it’s fuzzy-slippers time again.”

“I agree.”

I headed to my room and kicked off my shoes. I was pulling a sweater on when I heard the wind pick up, howling outside. The sky turned darker; it looked like the middle of the night, except it was still early evening.

A shiver ran down my spine, and I headed back to the main room.

I stopped to check the thermostat though to make sure the heat was running. I walked over to the front window and looked outside. “It’s so windy. I can’t believe it’s not raining.”

“It could just be a windstorm.
