Anthony recovered from his sleep coma after a half-hour outside in the cold. He came back in with pink cheeks and life in his eyes again. I was impressed that he could stay out there for so long in a t-shirt and jeans.

We all headed to the slopes once my parents, the slow people that they were, got ready. It was still morning time when we got there, and Anthony began to grow talkative again in the car.

“We should race,” he said, patting my thigh and leaving his hand there.

I pushed his hand away. “I don’t want to break my neck.”

My mom leaned back. “Don’t do anything dangerous, please. The nearest hospital is hours away.”

Anthony winked at me. “Of course not, ma’am. I would never put your daughter in danger.”

I rolled my eyes. He was a real piece of work, playing up his gentleman façade in front of everyone but me. In private, he was a monster. I knew that now.

I clutched my belongings tightly as Anthony as we rode up the ski lift together. You had to go in pairs, so I wasn’t surprised to be paired off with Anthony. It’s like people assumed we were a couple.

The ski lift took us to the top of the slopes, where there were many different paths you could take down. I had all but forgotten how to ski, so I knew this was going to be a struggle for me.

Anthony watched me as I struggled to move myself sideways at the top of the slope. My goggles were foggy and I could barely keep myself from falling over. I was a mess.

He skied over to me, holding his arm out for me to hold onto. “Here, let me help.”

“I don’t need your help,” I tried to insist, but I nearly fell over immediately after saying that, clutching to the reflective fabric on his arm to keep myself from toppling headfirst down the slope.

Anthony laughed. “I’m just trying to help you. You’re going to need to spread your legs out a little more.”

“I bet you would like that,” I responded sarcastically.

Anthony shook his head. “Pay attention to what I’m telling you or you’ll never get down this hill alive.”

I huffed but parted my legs slightly. I did have a better balance that way.

“It’s like skating, really. Just use your ski poles to help balance and propel your body when you’re ready,” Anthony explained.

Frost was already creeping under my goggles. It was freezing up there at the top of the slopes. The sooner I got down, the better.

I clung tighter to Anthony’s arm as I let myself begin sliding down through the snow. He masterfully controlled his pace to match mine, slowly bringing us both to a steady speed downhill.

“You can use the poles to slow down,” Anthony said, “But you’d be better off turning you body so that you move diagonally. That way you don’t building up too much speed. Just zigzag.”

I tried to turn myself, but I found it easier to cling to Anthony while he did all the work.
