Chapter Thirteen

THE morning came faster than it felt possible. Jamie shook me awake, saying the sun was rising and we had to get moving. I still felt groggy and emotionally tired from the day before. When I got home I was going to spend hours at whatever indoor pool I could find, soaking up the energy and heat.

“You should eat,” Jamie said.

I got up to relieve myself, glad it was an indoor toilet. When I exited the bathroom there was a fresh bucket of

water and a plate full of bread and meat. I washed up and sank into my breakfast, somewhat annoyed. Were we going to talk about last night?

Either way, the ranger station was my destination. If I had to steal the sled and leave him here, I would. I yanked out my map and studied it again. The station wouldn’t be more than an hour on the sled. Getting back to the lodge from there depended on whether there was gas in storage or not.

I took a deep breath and figured I’d put it all out there. “I’m going to the ranger station, with or without you.” Jamie stared at me for a minute, expression blank. “You think you could take me down?”

He had size, but I could take him. One good hit to a joint and he’d be down for the count. Though I’d rather not attack him if I didn’t have to, because then I’d feel obligated to help him get back. And I couldn’t imagine he’d be light enough for me to fireman carry. “Yeah.”

“Fine. We’ll go to the station. Maybe they’ll have another sled we can borrow to get Sei and Gabe out of that lodge.” He shivered while pulling on all his clothes.

“You feel it too?” The storm had become a living, breathing menace now. Some sort of growing parasite that fed off the rage it poured into the blizzard.

“Don’t know what you mean.” Sure he didn’t. I stuffed everything away and climbed into my snowsuit. “Are we going to talk about last night?”

“What about it?”

I sighed. Had I really expected anything else? Everyone treated me like the throw away lover, obviously even my best friend’s big brother. Was it wrong to want more? “Never mind.”

We made our way outside to the buried snowmobile. It took a little work to get it up out of the hole we’d dug, but once it was up and running, I felt like we had a chance again.

The wind picked up while I revved the engine.

I insisted on driving. Jamie finally relented, slung all of our supplies on his back, and slid up behind me. With the snowsuits between us I couldn’t feel much of him until he wrapped his arms around my waist.

“Whenever you’re ready,” Jamie shouted through the helmets.

Easing the sled out slowly made my heart beat a little less crazily. With the snow as high as it was we could hit a treetop or something and be thrown. Not even the helmets could save us if we went through a tree, though I was happy to find them still locked away in our cabin.
