Chapter 63

Soren laughed, releasing Tara. "Stella's injured and needs rest, but we're perfectly fine." Tara felt utterly embarrassed. The cold made her already sluggish mind even slower, causing her reactions to be even more delayed. Soren lightly flicked her forehead through her hat. "You silly thing." Even through the thick material, it stung slightly. Tara glared at him, then attempted to step on his foot as she walked past. The snowy ground was treacherous, and she not only missed but nearly tumbled forward. Thankfully, Lance's quick reflexes caught her just in time. Soren stood there, doubled over with laughter, while Lance and Shawn couldn't suppress their chuckles. Tara's face flushed crimson. She'd never felt such profound embarrassment in either of her lives. She quickly tugged the brim of her hat lower, feeling as though she couldn't meet anyone's eyes. Jonah, noticing Tara's dazed state from the cold, shook his head in helpless amusement. It was clear skiing wasn't her forte.
