Let It Snow

by Kristie Leigh

  When we pulled up to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, I was both confused and thrilled. I’d never seen a race before, so this would be an awesome experience. We climbed out of the car, and Sullivan took my hand.

  “Any idea what we’re doing here?” he asked as we walked.

  “I thought we were going to see a race, but since there aren’t many people here, I assume that’s wrong.”

  “Definitely wrong.” He turned to me with the biggest smile on his face. “We’re going to drive a real Nascar race car.”

  My mouth hung open as I stared back at him. “You’re kidding?”

  “Nope.” His brows furrowed. “You don’t have to if you don’t want to.”

  “What? Of course, I want to. Holy shit!” I jumped into his arms as I screamed. “Woohoo. I have the best husband ever!” There weren’t many people around, but the few that stood around were laughing at me. I didn’t care; I was going to drive a race car.

  We sat through a driver meeting with the crew chief for training and instructions. My knee was bouncing even more, knowing that we got to drive the car alone, and there was no lead car. We could pass each other and everything. Sullivan had sprung for the forty-eight-minute experience, which was the longest available so we could get up to top speeds. I was so nervous, but I couldn’t wait. This was something I’d always wanted to do, and as usual, my amazing man was making my dream a reality.

  Being behind the wheel was like nothing I’d ever experienced before, the adrenaline coursing through your veins at over five thousand RPMs. My legs were wobbly as I climbed out through the window. Sullivan walked over, and I threw my arms around him. “Thank you. This is the best honeymoon ever.”

  “I’m so glad you had fun. I was a little worried when I first told you that you weren’t excited.” He kissed me, and I melted.

  We went to see Cirque du Soleil after dinner. I’d watched the videos online, and it didn’t do it justice in the least.

  By the time we got back to the hotel, it was nearly ten.

  “I have a surprise for you.”

  “Oh, I love your surprises. They’re always amazing.” It was true. Since his first gift of the necklace to today, he was amazing at surprises.

  He handed me an envelope. “I know how bummed you were when you couldn’t get time off work.” He didn’t say anything else as I took the envelope.

  Inside there were two tickets to Iceland for June. I looked up at him. “But how?” I wasn’t able to get more than a couple days off until I’d been there a year.

  “Look at the date again.”

  I checked again and realized it was over a year away.

  “I know it’s a long time to wait, but I figured the baby would be—”

  I put my hand up to stop him from speaking. “The baby? I think you’re getting a little ahead of yourself, don’t you?”

  “Nope. The baby will be old enough to stay with my mom by then, and I’ve already booked the time off work for you.”

  “You’re insane, but I love you.”

  About the Author

  I'm a feisty redheaded Canadian/American who fell in love with romance novels when my friend Phil bought me a Kindle that hasn't left my side since.

  My favorite books to read are anything taboo and super sick and twisted. I'm not sure I will ever write anything dark, but I would love to give it a shot one day.

  I live in South Florida with my high school sweetheart and three kids.

  I grew up in Burlington, ON, Canada but made the move to South Florida in 2013 and definitely don't miss the snow.

  I'm not sure where this writing journey will take me but either way, I know it will be a fun new adventure, and I'm super excited about it.
