Blizzards and Bullets

RILEY -- Shane has been my favorite person for my entire life. I've always loved him, and now I'm in love with him. I know he cares about me, too, but I'm sure he just thinks of me as his best friend's kid. Now that he's finished with active duty, he'll probably start dating, and I'll have to pretend to be happy for him. At least I'll have this Christmas vacation with him and my family to look back on. I wasn't planning to ever tell him how I felt, but now we're snowed in together and I'm not sure I can hide my feelings. Especially when he holds me and tells me everything will be okay. SHANE -- I devoted my life to the military. The closest thing I have to a family is my best friend and his wife and kids. I would never risk damaging that relationship by making a move on Riley, even though I realized last year that I'm in love with him. He should have someone better, anyway; someone smart and young and happy, like him. I don't deserve him, especially now that my secrets have put his life in danger. I'll do anything to keep Riley from being hurt, especially by me. But when he asks me for something I so badly want to give him, can I find the strength to say no?
