She glanced at Josh in his heavy coat and boots as he stood in the inn’s yard, white snow surrounding him. He was focused intently on her. “If two people kiss in the heart-shaped shadow the rising full moon creates on this tree, they will fall in love with each other for the rest of their lives.”

“Have you ever kissed in the shadow?” a deep voice asked beside her.

She turned to peek at Josh, thankful for the darkness that hid the blush warming her cheeks. “No, I haven’t. There—look, Josh, I think the shadow is forming,” she whispered, watching the shifting dark patterns on the dazzling white snow.

“We can’t waste that,” Josh said, taking her hand and hurrying down the steps.

“Josh, we can’t—”

He rushed her over to stand in the heart-shaped shadow. “It’s only a kiss.”

“This is absurd,” she said, laughing, her heart pounding wildly. “Suppose it comes true? We don’t even know each other. You’re tempting fate.”

He smiled at her, then pulled her to him.
