By the time they got off the cable car, Amanda was already talking to Bruce like they were close friends.
Amanda walked behind Bruce, stepping in the footprints he left. When the man saw what she was doing, he took smaller steps so that she would not have to jump so far.
“Mr. Gable, you're so tall! I will grow to be as tall as you are if I step in your footprints!” the girl shouted in excitement.
“Crazy,” Lucian sneered. “Those are lies people invented to scam people like you. How tall you grow is entirely dependent on your parents' genes.”
Amanda growled, “I know that! I'm just having fun with Mr. Gable!”
When Bruce saw that Genevieve was about to help Amanda put on her gear, he took the equipment from her hands. “Let me. I don't have anything to do anyway. You should get ready yourself.”
With that said, he took out the pair of snowshoes from the bag and helped Amanda wear them.
Then, he put on her skis, helmet, and gloves for her.
In no time, Amanda was all ready for some fun. Her whole body was bundled up except for her face.
She leaned forward and kissed Bruce. “Thank you, Mr. Gable!”
Bruce's heart warmed at the lingering feeling on his cheek. Then, he passed her the skiing poles. “Don't mention it. Do you want me to show you how to ski?”
“It's okay. I know how to do it. Even Lucian's not as good as me at this,” she said proudly.
Lucian had just worn his helmet when he heard this. “For real, Amanda Rachford? We all know I'm better than you.”
“That's the past. I'm better now. I dare you to a race!”
When Genevieve saw the children were emotionally charged to outski each other, she reminded them to be careful. “Put on your ski mask. I don't want any of you hurting your face. Make sure you guys don't go too far. Okay?”
“All right,” Amanda replied, waving her hand without turning back toward Genevieve.
She skied on the snow elegantly like a little fairy as she followed Lucian toward the entry-level ski trail.
“Ms. Rachford, I'll get going first,” Bruce informed. He fastened his skis and drifted away.
Genevieve watched him slide off with a complicated feeling weighing on her heart.
