BOOK EXCERPT

I drew him down in the snow with me. “You know what I want to do now?”
He shook his head and asked with a cheesy grin, “What do you want to do now?”
“I want to make… snow angels!” I shoved him onto his back so we were side by side. Our inside hands latched together. We flapped our arms and legs, laughing hysterically as we cut angelic impressions deep into the powder.
I couldn’t believe this was the same Rudy Tutti who’d shown up a few months ago so closed-off and detached, hating the winsome allure of his new surroundings, now giving in so completely to the silly whims of the dorkiest little girl at North Pole High.
I was still in stitches when he stopped flapping and rolled onto his side so he could kiss me again. My breaths came faster and shorter as his kisses intensified. I groped his tight chest with my free hand, then walked my fingers down his outside arm to pull him on top of me.
The entire weight of his body pressed down on me. I maneuvered his arms and legs, rhythmically, in sync with mine, as our two angels became one, and kissed him so hard I thought I might break his teeth. Our kisses became sloppy. We moved up and down against each other, our arms and legs swinging furiously, faster, until a liberating breeze washed over us and all at once we were lighter than air!
Literally.
As in no longer on the ground.
“Rudy, what’s happening to us?”
“How should I know?”
“Hang on, kids.” The voice came from somewhere else. From behind my head, beneath the frosted wings beating hypnotically around us as we soared through the glowing aurora.
Our Snow Angel had come to life!
