[7:00] the snowfall was something out of a movie; thick layers covering the concrete sidewalk, protecting you both from the ice. your snow boots crunched over mackia’s larger footprints. you weren’t exactly sure why he wanted to take you outside in weather below freezing, but for him you’d do anything.
“kiah, we’ve been walking for 5 minutes; my nose is almost numb.” you crossed your eyes in an attempt to look at your tingling nose. every time you scrunched it up, it would take a second to go back in place. you weren’t sure anymore if you were still following a direct path, or if your boyfriend had somehow gotten you both lost late at night, in the middle of a snow storm.
“i promise we’re almost there.” his hand gripped tighter on yours. despite the layers of gloves, the heat from his palms seemed to still radiate onto you. no matter how cold it was, mackiah was always like a sun that kept you warm.
after what felt like an eternity walking through the falling snow, mackiah finally stopped, bringing you to a clearing between trees. “i never experienced a snow storm back home. australia’s way too warm.” the moonlight shone down between the clouds, and dimly lit up his face as he spoke.
“so you had to bring me with you?”
“well—” he cut himself off, licking his chapped lips, “i heard it’s really romantic to slow dance in the snow.” mackiah pulled his hand away and reached for his phone in his pocket. he slipped off his wool gloves and suddenly, unforgettable by nat king cole played from his speakers. “my parents told me about a trip they took to iceland, and they danced to this song together when they got snowed in.”
mackiah reached for both of your hands after slipping his phone back into his coat pocket (which only slightly muffled the volume) and putting back on his gloves. he pulled you close to his chest, and moved your hands to his shoulders, as he moved his to your waist.
you couldn’t help but smile. your boyfriend, ever the romantic, pulled you through a snowstorm just to dance with you. a gesture that kept your heart warm despite the freezing cold. “mackiah mercer, you really are an unforgettable love.”
