It had to have been that day. Fresh snow, Katie asking if she could learn to snowboard. They’d had so much fun as a family. He’d held Cole’s hand for hours, had kissed him as they waited for Katie to finish her first snowboard lesson. They’d laughed until their sides cramped, leaning into each other to stay on their feet. That night, they’d made love for hours, slow and languid and deliriously happy.
