“Why do I have to be blindfolded and why am I wearing twelve layers of clothes?” Mia asked Wyatt. She had no idea where they were, other than the road they were currently driving on was bumpy as hell.

“It’s a surprise. Don’t be impatient, we’ll be there in a minute.”

“Where will we be?”

“It’s a surprise,” he said for the fifth time. “You’re making this much harder than it needs to be. Relax. You’ll like it, I promise.”

“If I don’t, you have to promise to take me home.”

She heard the exasperation in his voice when he said, “Damn, Mia, can’t you just go with it?”

He stopped the truck got out and slammed his door shut. A few seconds later he opened her door and helped her out.

“Can I take off the blindfold now?”

“No.” He more or less snarled the response.

“Wow, you sure are grumpy.” Mia held on to his arm as he pulled her along. “I’m getting claustrophobic. I need to see.”

“You do not have claustrophobia.”

“How do you know?”

“If you had it, I’d know it. We’ve been in some close quarters and you’ve never mentioned a thing.” A few moments later, he stopped and kissed her while removing her blindfold. “Open your eyes.”

She opened her eyes to a sleigh. Two big, shaggy horses were harnessed to the sleigh and Lane Scott was sitting in the driver’s seat. “One romantic sleigh ride coming up,” Lane said, and winked at her.

To Wyatt she said, “You arranged this for me?”

Wyatt was frowning at her. “No. I arranged it for us. Get in. Unless you want me to take you home.”

“Of course I don’t.” She felt bad that she’d given him such a hard time. But how was she to know he’d arranged something so impossibly romantic?

Wyatt helped her in to the rear seat of the sleigh and climbed in after her. After tucking a couple of warm, thick, fuzzy blankets around them, he said to Lane, “Ready.”

A light snow fell and the full moon shone over an idyllic scene. Quiet, the only sounds those of the horses breathing, the jingle of bells on their harnesses and the soft clop of their hooves on the snow.

“It’s beautiful, Wyatt.” Knowing he was still a bit put out with her, she slipped her hand into his. “Thank you. I’m sorry I was difficult.”

He looked down at her with a rueful smile. “Remind me never to try to surprise you again.”

She put her arm around his neck and pulled his head down, kissing his lips. They were cold and soft, and she wanted to lose herself in him. But she couldn’t.

So she let him go and repeated, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” After that, he relaxed, swung an arm around her and pulled her close against his side.

Lane drove them all around the farm, along regular paths and through the forest as well, never saying a word. “Why won’t Lane talk?”

“He’s pretending to be invisible. Don’t worry, it was his idea, not mine.”

“Do the Scotts have sleigh rides regularly?”

“Not like this.
