“I’m okay,” she murmured, though her face tightened in pain.

“You’re not okay,” Cole stated firmly. Without hesitation, he scooped her up effortlessly, carrying her toward the resort’s medical station.

Sarah flushed, caught between mild embarrassment and gratitude. “I can walk, you know.”

“Not with that ankle,” he countered, his jaw set in determination.

Once they arrived, the resort’s doctor examined her injury. “It’s just a mild sprain,” he concluded. “Nothing serious, but she should rest it for a bit.”

Cole exhaled in relief, but he still seemed unsettled. “You should be more careful,” he muttered, crossing his arms as he watched Sarah flex her ankle carefully.

“She was protecting me,” Abby interjected softly, looking guilty.

Cole ruffled her hair. “And that’s why we need to make sure she doesn’t get hurt next time.”

After resting, they returned to the slopes for a little longer before heading to a cozy restaurant nearby. The warmth of the indoor fireplace was a stark contrast to the cold outside. They ordered a variety of dishes, and as they ate, exhaustion finally caught up with Abby.

“She really likes you,” he said, glancing at Sarah.

Sarah smiled, gently stroking Abby’s hair. “She’s a sweet kid.”

As they stepped outside, ready to part ways, Abby clung to Sarah’s hand. “Can we play again next time?” she asked sleepily.

Sarah knelt down, cupping the little girl’s cheek. “Of course, we can,” she promised.

Cole picked Abby up, cradling her against his shoulder. He watched as Sarah walked away, her figure illuminated by the golden glow of the streetlights.
