to finally meet you, Savannah.”
    I smiled politely and held out a hand. I knew better than to worry too much. I’d tried so hard with Mac, and he’d never warmed up to me. I figured Gina wouldn’t be any different. “Great to meet you.”
    We walked inside and Dad hugged Gina. Hadn’t they just seen each other hours before? I refused to dwell on it. If he was happy, who was I to get in the way?
    “How did the pick-up go?” Gina asked him.
    “Good, except for Savannah’s bag doing the disappearing act.”
    “Oh no. I hate when that happens.” Gina seemed legitimately distressed for me. “Did you fill out the form?”
    “Yeah, hopefully it just missed the Atlanta flight.”
    “If there’s anything you need while you wait I’m sure between Laney and me we’ll have you covered. And if it doesn’t show by tomorrow we’ll just have to shop.” She grinned. “Wouldn’t that be too bad?”
    “I brought so much more stuff than I actually need,” Laney added. “I’m sure my stuff will fit you.”
    “Thanks.” There were definitely some benefits to having other girls around.
    “Where’s Grandma and Grandpa?” I was surprised they hadn’t been waiting at the door.
    “They’re having dinner with the Maxtons tonight. They were going to wait, but then your flight was delayed.”
    The Maxtons. My stomach churned. That was Glen’s family. I grabbed the bag I did have and followed Laney into the room we’d be sharing. It was the smallest of the rooms, and it had two twin sized beds inside. “I took this one. Hope you don’t mind.” She sat down on the one closest to the window.
    “It’s totally fine.” I dropped my stuff and looked around.
    “You’ve been here a ton, right?”
    “Yeah. We’ve been coming here for years.”
    “Is there anything to do at night?”
    “Underage? Not much. We usually hang out in the hot tubs and in the lobby and stuff. There’s ice skating and restaurants downstairs, but it gets pretty crowded.”
    “Cool. Hopefully we’ll find some cute guys.”
    I smiled. “Maybe you will.”
    “Are you not into guys? Or do you a boyfriend?”
    “No boyfriend, but I’m definitely into guys. I’m just not looking for any here.”
    “Oh. Ok. I guess I look for guys everywhere. Maybe that changes in college.”
    I laughed. “It doesn’t really change. It’s just different.”
    “You’re a Delta Mu at Harrison, right?” She pointed at my sweatshirt. My sorority affiliation was a really popular topic of conversation.
    “Yup.”
    “If I get into Harrison that’s the house I want to pledge.”
    “Your brother said that. When do you find out?”
    “Any day now. Otherwise I’ll just have to wait until the regular decision window in the spring.”
    “I applied early decision too, but they let us know before Thanksgiving last year.”
    “Lucky.”
    I smiled. At the time I’d been waiting on pins and needles so I could definitely relate to how Laney felt. “I guess I was.”
    “Are you tired, or would you want to walk around? We just got here a few hours ago, and I haven’t done anything yet.”
    “Sure. Want to get some coffee or something? There’s a great café we can check out.”
    “That sounds great!” Laney was so enthusiastic about everything. I really hoped it rubbed off on me.
    Before we headed downstairs I quickly sent a text to Jade . Made it in one piece. Girlfriend’s kids are actually cool.
    Yay! Keep me posted!
    I pocketed my phone. It was time for my first peppermint latte of the season.

Chapter Five
    Savannah
     
    After sleeping in the next morning, Laney, Dalton, and I headed out to the mountain. I’d slept surprisingly well, and I was once again glad I had a day’s worth of clothes even without my bag. We waited in line for the gondola. My board was heavy in my hands, but I couldn’t wait to get onto the slopes. Nothing would clear my head like the rush of the wind and the snow beneath me.
    “Excited yet?” Dalton asked from next to me.
