she does. Ohio has to be the most boring state in America.”

      “You’ve been there?”

      “No.” She smiled up at him. “The name is boring. Only four letters.”

      “What about Utah?”

      “Fine. I see your point. So you’re saying I should visit Ohio?”

      “No. It’s the most boring state in America.”

      “Charlie.” Johanna shoved him playfully. Voices lifted in a rousing rendition of “Jingle Bells.” She slid her hand through the crook of his elbow. “This is fun.”

      “It is.” He covered her hand with his. Their joking, these gestures—it felt right. All around them, snow and song, sleigh bells and string-lights. All around them, Bitterly. Charlie saw only Johanna. “You want to have dinner with me tomorrow night?” he asked, and again the blush too many times creeping up on him this evening burned. He held her gaze and his breath. Johanna looked up at him. Her angelic face changed from girl to woman but otherwise, exactly the same. “I’d love to, Charlie. It’s about time we caught up.”

      “Yeah, it is.”

      “What time?”

      “How’s seven? Too early? Too late?”

      “Seven is perfect.”

      “Jingle Bells” had degenerated into “Batman Smells.” The band switched songs. “Silent Night.” Voices hushed and rose into the clear night. Johanna sang, softly this time, her head coming to rest against the arm she held.

      Charlie fixed it all in his head, the perfection of this evening, like a snapshot lodged inside. If she vanished again for another eight years, he’d have it to pull out, to remember, to cherish. And if she didn’t vanish—Charlie’s throat constricted. His skin prickled and his body warmed—if she didn’t, he would be able to look back on this moment as the beginning of the best part of his life.
