I grabbed her wrist. “Verity?” I waited until her eyes met mine before I continued.
“What?”
“I prefer the way you are naturally. Hair, eyes,andbreasts.”

VERITY
“Are you wearing your ring?” Zeppelin asked when we got in the SUV.
“I can’t wear gloves if I have it on, and my hands are freezing.”
“Turn it around.”
I rolled my eyes at my own stupidity, then pulled the glove on. It was somewhat uncomfortable, but not as bad. Certainly better than getting frostbit fingers.
“Is there anywhere in particular you want to go?” he asked.
“We could check out the main tourist area or one of the ski resorts.”
“Let’s go downtown.” He had a funny look on his face.
“What?” I asked.
“It’s minus six.” He shuddered as if just saying it made him cold.
“Are you hungry?” I realized it was almost fifteen hundred, and we hadn’t eaten yet today. Or at least I hadn’t.
The funny look on his face remained, although it was slightly different.
“You ate last night’s dessert, didn’t you?”
He laughed. “Not all of it.”
I shook my head. “I wish I would’ve remembered we had it.”
“Maybe we should pick a few things up to have at the chalet.”
“The resort offers grocery delivery,” I said, looking online.
Zeppelin nodded but didn’t say anything.
“Do you need me to give you the GPS coordinates for downtown?”
“I got them. They’re in the heads-up display.”
He was usually the more talkative of the two of us, so I was having a hard time coming up with conversation. “How did you get your code name?” I asked after several minutes of awkward silence.
“My last name is Bonham?” He phrased it like a question, so I shook my head. “John Bonham was the drummer for Led Zeppelin.”
“Right. I’m too young to be familiar with them.”
“We’re the same age, Ver. Besides, they’re one of the greatest rock bands of all time.”
I shrugged.
“What about you? Verity tells no lies?”
