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!
