Jamie walks over to Bekka after saying goodbye to the last guest. He has to wait for the delivery guys to pick up the flowers and other things from the wedding. “I’m sorry we can’t leave right away. If you are cold, I can meet you at your house in a little while.”
“I’m fine. I don’t mind keeping you company. Are you ok?” Bekka is still looking at him with concern.
“I’m great! Why do you ask?”
“I noticed you were emotional during the service. I was worried you were taking on too much emotion during the ceremony.”
Jamie looks at her puzzled but also liking the fact that she is concerned about him. It does not seem she is indifferent to him or how he is feeling. He explains. “That was pure and simply joy and happiness for my friend and Mary. The words they declared to each other were so perfect. My heart was overflowing at that moment."
"I don’t take emotion unless I see that it is too much or hurting someone. Like the anger and frustration in Mary and the hurt and anger in you. The emotions were hurting both of you and had built into toxic levels by not being released. I released it. During the ceremony that was just me being emotional.”
Bekka nods in understanding while thinking to herself. Wow, a man not afraid to show emotion and not the least bit ashamed to admit it either.
“It was a beautiful ceremony and the love just shines when looking at those two. I sure hope things work out, and Mary is able to stay here so you can continue to try and help her.

Jamie puts the fire out of the last fire pit so it will cool down before it has to be transported back to the warehouse. He turns to Rebecca. “I did not realize your Godmother is Caterina Vanderburg. She let me know right away when I welcomed her to the wedding and she saw you here. She has offered to go through some of Renauld’s royal family tomes to see if she can discover anything that might help us. Mary told me about her offer before they left.”
“Yes, did I not tell you the other night who she was? I’m sorry. She is a generous lady but can be very cautious as many swindlers have tried to take advantage of them knowing Renauld's royal heritage.”
“I met her a few weeks ago in the course of my job. She was most disapproving of me until I rid her of the poltergeists plaguing the mansion.”
Bekka laughs, her eyes shining with mischief. “Aha, you are the ‘arrogant young man on the motorcycle’ that impressed her with your abilities.”
Jamie grins at the description that had to have come from Catarina. “ So, she mentioned me to you? Yes, I guess I was a little arrogant when she questioned my abilities and looked down her nose at my motorcycle. Does she give you a hard time about riding a motorcycle?
“Yes, of course she does. She loves me and is just concerned for my safety. I love her but I love riding too.”

They walk down to the pond as they talk and gaze out over the frozen waters. Jamie asks, “Do you have your skates with you?”
“Yes, in my side bag on my bike.”
“Shall we skate while we wait for the pickup?
Bekka nods with enthusiasm and they both hurry to get their skates and rush back to the pond.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50881973956_149a41b689_o.jpg
They start off skating side by side around the small pond. They talk as they skate, laughing together and getting to know each other. Jamie asks her to do a spin, and he loves holding her hands as they slowly spin.

They spin in slow lazy circles, and Jamie’s happiness in being with her shines from his face. Bekka also seems to be enjoying herself. She is relaxed, and he does not sense any tenseness or anxiety in her this evening. Jamie tells her a funny story that has her laughing. She has a beautiful laugh and he wants to hear it as often as possible.

Suddenly their skates are tangled up as one of them hits a rock on the ice. Both flail around trying to find balance but end up on the cold hard ice.
“Are you ok?” Jamie asks Rebecca worried she might be injured.
“I’m fine, you? She asks.
“I’m good too,” he tells her.
Bekka's thoughts are as tangled as their skates were a moment ago. She can feel herself relaxing with Jamie and becoming more comfortable around him. Her heart is telling her one thing and her mind another. Which should she listen to? She sighs not really knowing the answer. She reaches out allowing Jamie to help her up from the ice.

Jamie hears a voice calling. “Hey dude, we collected all the stuff. You want to come sign for it?” Jamie walks over and signs the paperwork.
Bekka decides she needs to quit worrying and just enjoy the evening. They walk back down the path to their bikes. They ride over to the diner as their cake is long gone and both are hungry. “The diner is the first place Damien took me after I moved here. Great food and the service is always excellent.”
“Yes, good home cooking can always be found here. Growing up I spent many a Friday night as a teen here, after ball games.The owners were always around and kept the troublemakers away, so we could just eat, dance and have some fun.”
The snow is starting to fall heavily again, and Bekka sticks her tongue out to catch a flake on it.
Jamie loves seeing her so relaxed and covers his mouth trying not to laugh at the cute picture she makes.

They enjoy a delicious dinner, both selecting the special of the evening. Homemade chili, just perfect on a cold winter evening to warm them up. It was served up with warm cornbread muffins that were dripping in honey butter.
Jamie follows Rebecca home and looks around her yard. “You know what this yard needs?”
“No, what, queries Rebecca?
“A snowman!”
Jamie helps her build a snowman for the yard, and they laugh and toss snow at each other as they build it.

“That was fun. Let's go inside and warm up. I’ll fix some hot cocoa after checking on the cats.”
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50881921708_27bca17ce9_o.jpg
Bekka greets her cats and after Sari winds her way around Bekka’s feet she strolls over to Jamie, sniffs him cautiously and promptly hisses. Jamie and Bekka both burst into infectious laughter at the antics of the cat.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50866454887_ce09fe6868_o.jpg
Bekka fixes hot cocoa, and they sit across from each other at the table enjoying the warm chocolatey drink. Jamie invites her to go with him and the ghosts to the festival. “I know you probably must work since it is Monday. I was hoping you could take a couple of hours off in the afternoon and go with us.”
“I will be ready for a break by then so that sounds like fun. That is the good thing about being your own boss and able to take off occasionally without issue. ”

Jamie prepares to leave and tells Rebecca how much he enjoyed spending time with her. I’m glad you are going tomorrow and will pick you up around 1 pm. Will that be ok?
“Yes, I can be ready then.”
Sari is twining around her ankles again wanting attention and Bekka reaches down and picks her up.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50882041353_772cf2500c_o.jpg
Jamie can’t hug her with the cat in her arms. “Thanks for the company. I thoroughly enjoyed being with you this evening.”
Bekka rubs her chin on Sari’s head, and the kitty starts purring contentedly. “I enjoyed it very much too. Thank you for inviting me. I’m looking forward to tomorrow.”
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50882041313_5bc1e35b40_o.jpg
It is snowing heavier when Jamie leaves. Bekka stands at the window watching him ride off worrying about him riding in the snow down the mountain roads. Should I have asked him to stay? Would that give him the wrong impression?
