I was walking home, walking down the road I knew so well, watching my cold breath float out of my mouth and fade away into the world, working hard to give every step, the snow was all the way up to my knees, and I couldn't drag my self through it, so I had to drastically lift my feet every time I took a step, and the worst part was, I was wearing my ski boots. I was going to ski with my friends, but it was too dangerous up there because of the blizzard, so we had to go back home. Since my house was literally at the other side of the village, I dropped all of them at their houses and walked the rest of my way alone.
On my way home I came across this girl, she was probably twelve, more or less my age, she had a beautiful brown hair that fell to her back, she had a slender but athletic body type, and she was just gorgeous.
" What are you doing?"
I called out to her when I realised what she was doing, she had a bucket full of snow, she put the bucket over a fire she started, far away from everything...flammable, she put an airplane on top of the bucket of ice, I was kind of confused with what I was seeing and I way to curious to let that one slip.
"Me? um... nothing worth questioning about, it is just a silly hobby."
"Seriously, I am interested, what is that?"
I said while flashing a friendly smile...
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
