Decidedly by Chance Christmas-y Excerpt
A few minutes later, the three of us were outside, fully dressed for the cold climate, and traipsing through the lightly falling snow to an open area.
“So, other than using Elsa’s magical ability to make a snowman—which is cheating if you ask me—do either of you know how to build one?” It wasn’t like I had experienced any snow days while growing up in San Francisco.
“I’ve made a few before,” Wes volunteered, then got to work, showing us how to create our own Olaf. Minus the legs and the ability to walk and talk and sing—which, if you asked me, was kind of a bummer.
Everly helped Wes roll the giant snowball across the open stretch of snow. At one point she paused and opened her arms wide. “He’s going to be a big snowman.”
“I think you’re right,” I said. “We might need a ladder to hoist his head onto his body.” I was exaggerating. Slightly.
“Will you be able to pick that up to put on his lower half?” I asked Wes. “It looks heavy.”
Wes stopped pushing the oversized snowball and stood up. “Are you saying I’m not strong?” He flexed his arms. Arms that were definitely strong—not that you could tell through his winter coat.
I laughed. “Definitely not. Everly, do you think Uncle Wes is the strongest man we know?”
“Yes! Uncle Wes and Daddy both strong,” she said, and I cringed at the second part.
She jumped up, landed with her legs separated, and flexed her arms, imitating Wes…other than the jumping part. He hadn’t done that. “Look, I’m strong, too.”
Laughing, Wes scooped her up and carried her over to where I was standing. “Yes, you are.” He kissed her cheek and lowered her to the ground, flashing me a defeated glance.
Not wanting him to dwell on her comment, I surprised us both by kissing him. It was a quick kiss. It was also the first time we had done that since the Christmas tree farm. And like that day, my entire body buzzed with pent-up need.
“I’ve been wanting to do that again for a while,” Wes said, his voice low and gravelly.
“Technically, I was the one who kissed you.”
His arms enveloped me, and he pulled me to him. “How about we fix that?” His mouth was on mine before I could respond.
She’s pregnant with another man’s baby.
He’s now the father to his little niece.
