Chapter 13

I thought that Rylan would forget about wanting to pay for my skiing stuff, but when I finally headed home Sunday night, he handed me a credit card and gave me the name of a shop. They, he said, would know I was coming and wouldn't give me any problems about using his credit card. Then he told me that he'd decided to give the staff this week off as well. I told him he was crazy, but he said he didn't want everyone to find out what happened with Christophe and him leave two days later while people were still dealing. I couldn't say that I blamed him. Besides, the Christmas rush was over and we did have things ready for our first of the year releases already. There wasn't really anything pressing.

So, I slept in on Monday and spent the rest of the day shopping. I never realized how expensive skiing stuff was until I began adding things up. It was no wonder ski vacations were for rich people. I'd originally told Rylan that I wanted to rent skis, but he'd vetoed that idea, saying we weren't going to one of the resorts. We'd ski from the cabin, which meant I'd need my own. Then he'd added that I could keep them there for future use.

By the time I finished, I had skis, poles, gloves and boots – two pairs since I'd apparently need a set for skiing and a set for just being outside – a heavier coat, scarf, hat, protective eye gear, thermal underwear, thicker pants and a ton of chapstick and sunscreen specially designed to deal with the wind as well. I winced when I saw the total, but the cashier didn't even blink. I just hoped Rylan didn't freak out when he looked at his bill.

Tuesday wasn't the best day for me since I didn't have anything specific planned and packing for the next day didn't exactly take me long. In the end, I headed over to the CSU library and browsed the shelves for hours, losing myself in the possibilities of stories until it was time to go home. I wanted to get a good night's sleep. We were leaving in the afternoon and I was hoping for another chance to wear the lingerie I bought.

I paced for a good half hour before Rylan knocked on my door. It shouldn't have been so nerve-wracking. I'd spent time alone with him before. Spent Christmas with him. New Year's Eve and Day weren't exactly more important holidays. Maybe, I thought, it was because it wasn't just me staying with him now. We were going away together. A vacation. Where we'd be isolated. Granted, his house wasn't exactly in the city, but it was still close enough that people could stop by. Zeke had proven that. In this cabin, it would truly be only the two of us. I doubted it would be completely rustic since his family didn't seem like the sort to not have the latest electronics there as well, but I doubted there'd be wifi or even a cell signal.
