Since he seemed to be handling it all so well and there was only so much space in the camper as it was, I moved to the table and grabbed a seat.
“So, now that you were lazy all day with me yesterday, are you planning a full day of snowboarding again today?” I asked him.
“I’d like to spend the day with you again,” he returned.
“I don’t snowboard,” I reminded him.
“I know that.”
My eyes narrowed. Was he saying he was going to give up another day of riding just to spend time with me?
“But what about all the new snow that just fell? Don’t you want to take advantage of it?”
With one plate in each of his hands, Griffin spun around to face me. His eyes roamed over my face briefly before he set the plates, complete with egg sandwiches, down on the table.
After he grabbed us both something to drink, he sat down beside me and asked, “Do you have something planned for today?”
I shrugged. “Not really. I thought I might go out and try to take some pictures again.”
“More landscape shots?” he pressed.
“What else is there?”
He picked up his sandwich, took a bite, and studied me as he chewed. Once he swallowed, he answered, “Action shots.”
I’d curled my fingers around the warm bread and had started to lift it toward my mouth, but I stopped halfway there when I heard his response. “Action shots?” I repeated.
Griffin nodded. “Yeah. I mean, I saw your landscape shots the other night, and they were gorgeous. Since you said you weren’t quite sure what kind of photography you want to do yet, wouldn’t it make sense to try out different types until you find what you like best?”
His logic was astounding, and it made complete sense. But I wasn’t quite sure how I’d be able to accomplish what he was suggesting. “How would I do that here when I don’t have any intention of going up any of these mountains?”
Smiling at me while I sunk my teeth in for the first bite of the sandwich, which was divine, Griffin declared, “I’ve been all over this mountain.”
“I’m not sure how that helps me.”
“There are several spots you’d be able to get to by just walking, and I think you’d have a great opportunity to capture some incredible shots,” he noted.
It wasn’t a bad idea.
There was no question I had to work out my financial situation and get myself back on track. But until I heard from Victoria about the job I’d applied for or managed to get down that access road, there wasn’t anything I could do about that.
For the time being, I could continue to make the most out of a bad situation and start attempting to figure out what kind of photography I really wanted to do. It would put me one step closer toward reaching my ultimate goal.
So, I nodded and agreed, “Okay. I think that sounds like a good idea. As long as you can promise me I won’t need to jump on a pair of skis or anything like that.”
He chuckled, dropped his free hand to my thigh, and squeezed. “I promise.”
At that, the two of us finished eating breakfast, me complimenting Griffin on his cooking skills throughout and him continuing to send knowing looks my way while his free hand remained somewhere on my body the entire time.
Once we finished, we got up and were about to get ourselves ready for a day out in the cold, but my phone rang.
Nobody had called me in ages, and I knew it could only be one of a handful of people. Either Victoria was calling about the job, or Janine was calling to see how I was making out. It could have also been my parents, but we didn’t typically talk every day, and I’d spoken to them over the phone before I’d left Janine’s house.
I reached for my phone, didn’t recognize the number, and felt something twist in my belly. I had a feeling this was going to be about the job.
“Hello?” I answered.
“Yes, I’m looking for Indy Watson.”
