Greg helped Gabriella to her feet from the crouched position on the ground, then reluctantly let go of her arm and watched her walk away.
The next day on top of the slopes, Gabriella was surprised to find Greg’s arms around her on several occasions. One time in particular, he was nuzzling her neck in an obvious play of affection.

“I didn’t think you’d mind,” he said. They were kissing open-mouthed seconds later, Gabriella greeting the attention as excitedly as he gave it.

She could tell right off that he’d make a terrific lover.
