“I’m sorry,” he said sincerely.
“It was a nice gesture,” I ground out. “Misplaced, but nice.”
“Are you mad?”
I turned to look at him and saw the disappointment in his features. I climbed onto his lap for the second time that day. He smiled as he palmed my ass.
“No. I mean, yes, it’s my worst nightmare come to life. But, hey, fears are meant to be conquered, right? Please, do tell me what your worst fear is so I can return the favor and make it just as romantic for you someday.” I bat my eyelashes and his body shook with his laugh.

“Nothing. Yours?”
He pulled his phone out and shook his head.
“How in the hell was I supposed to work out here?”
“I was told there was WIFI. Abbie, if I can make it to the main road—”
“You aren’t going out in a blizzard with zero visibility. It’s not happening. I’m not that bossy of a girlfriend, I promise, but I’m not swaying on this shit.”
