About the Author

Chapter1.

What is it about the winter season that’s so invigorating? The snow, the cold temperature? For me, it’s all of that. I love winter.

Looking out the big front window of the crappy, little greasy spoon, called Country Kitchen, that I work at as a short order cook, I take in my surroundings of the town I love. The diner is closed, and clean up was easy tonight since there is extra staff on due to the holiday season. I’m just waiting on the busboy, Joe, to finish the dishes so we can go home. I watch some kids slide on the ice that has formed in the street and the people walking by as they window shop.

Richard Grove, Cindy’s dad, was a very successful real-estate developer. Her mother, Ellen, was a homemaker. Sadly, Ellen was killed by a drunk driver while out of town visiting relatives. My mother, Teri, raised me by herself working in a bucket factory. My father walked out on her after she revealed to him she was pregnant.

Following his wife’s death, Richard decided to raise his only child in the small town.

Cindy and I were hometown sweethearts. You know, the whole star high school quarterback and the beautiful blonde head cheerleader. Yes, a small-town cliché. God, she was gorgeous. Her golden hair would shine like the heavens under the big lights on the field. When she was happy, her green eyes would brighten with such intensity that it was nearly like looking at the most exquisite of emeralds. I would stare in the mirror at my shaggy brown hair and dull, dark eyes, and think, how did I get someone as beautiful as Cindy?

Her dad set us up in this posh apartment and paid
