Winter Scene Giveaway – Dancing in the Snow

The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?  ~J. B. Priestley

Can you believe it? I thought of another of my books with a snow scene. Two of my Rosey Corner books have winter scenes. Angel Sister, the first Rosey Corner book, is all summertime, but we have more seasons in the other two, Small Town Girl and Love Comes Home. But some of those scenes are in the wintertime with a little snow falling. I could share a snowman making scene from Love Comes Home, but instead I decided on a couple of romantic scenes. After all, Valentine’s Day is come up soon. Hope you will enjoy these scenes between Kate and Jay.

The first is from Small Town Girl which is set right before America joins in fighting WW II, the months before the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Fat snowflakes were settling softly on the windshield. The air around the car was white with them. Kate pulled away from Jay. “Maybe you should get the car out of here before we get snowed in.”

“Snowed in with you sounds pretty good.” Jay tipped her face around toward his to kiss her again. But this time he didn’t pull her into his arms. Instead he jerked open the car door and grabbed her hand to help her slide across the seat and under the wheel.

“What are you doing?” She laughed as she stumbled out of the car.

“Have you ever seen such beautiful snow?” But his eyes weren’t on the snow. They were on her. “I think Fern would tell us to dance, don’t you? In the music of the snow.”

And so she stepped into his arms to glide with him through the snowflakes falling around them. Wrapped in silence. Wrapped in love. The snow wouldn’t last. The flakes disappeared as soon as they hit the ground and already the cloud that was sifting the snow down on them was drifting away. But still they danced. Embracing the moment.

Tomorrow would be soon enough to worry about tomorrow.

And here we move on a few years to Jay and Kate after WW II ends in Love Comes Home.

Right on cue, a few snowflakes drifted down. Once before the war, they had danced in snow much like this, so now the snow seemed to be falling just for them.

“Do you hear the music?” Jay dropped his bag and reached for her hand.

“Oh yes. I hear it.”

He pulled her close and with fat snowflakes falling around them, they danced as if they owned the sidewalk. Snow caught in their hair and melted on their cheeks.

I hope you could see the two dancing in the fat snowflakes. The picture up top could be like the road where they stopped to dance in the snow in the first scene. Here, my sweet dog Oscar is waiting for me to stop taking pictures and get on with our walk. He was such a good dog.
