“It’s very important!”
“Shut up!”
I closed the door behind me and started down the steps of the chalet to see Owen waiting for me at the bottom.
“Who are you telling to shut up?”
“Luke and Taylor. They think they’re real comedians.”
“Because they reminded you to use protection? They’re right. Protection is important.”
“I never said it wasn’t. I just don’t want to hear it from my brother and his husband. In fact, they’re the last people I want to hear it from.”
“I understand,” Owen said with a laugh.
“So, where are you taking me?”
“Night skiing. Did you forget already?”
“I mean, I know that, but the resort doesn’t have night skiing.”
“Who said we were staying at the resort?”
“Owen! There’s nothing around for miles. What are we doing?”
“Do you trust me?”
“Well…yeah.”
“Okay, then no more questions. Follow me.”
I did as I was told and followed Owen around to the side of his chalet where two snowmobiles were waiting. I looked at him with an eyebrow raised, feeling very hesitant.
“It’s not actually skiing, but it’s going to be great,” he said with a grin.
“Owen…I don’t know about this.”
“I promise, you are going to have a great time.”
I sighed, still feeling fearful, but I knew Owen would never intentionally put me in danger.
“Alright.”
“Great! Here’s your helmet,” he said, tossing a black helmet in my direction.
I put it on and pulled my gloves out of my coat pocket as I watched Owen eagerly start up the engines on the snowmobiles. They roared to life and he looked at me with an expectant smile.
“Ready?”
“I suppose so.”
“Do you know how to drive one of these?”
“I mean, I’ve never done it, but I’m sure I can figure it out.”
“You’ll be a pro in no time.”
He helped me onto the blue one, and then hopped onto the red one. He looked back at me with a thumbs up, and then he was off. I struggled for a moment to figure out how to accelerate, but once I got it, I hit the ground running.
