Evan paused, just for a breath, then said, “Maybe stand a little closer to Liz–it’ll look nicer in the shot.”

But I knew that wasn’t what he’d said. Not really.

He didn’t offer to say it again, and I didn’t ask.

Instead, I slipped my arm around Liz’s shoulder- quietly, like that was the only thing that made sense to do.

I stood beside the snowman, smiling at the camera, but felt his gaze was somewhat burning.

“Are you done taking the picture?” I asked softly.

He seemed to have just snapped back to reality, pressing the shutter with several clicks, taking multiple shots in

succession.

“Let me see how they turned out.” I walked over and leaned close to him to look at the phone.

On the phone screen, we were illuminated brightly by the snow’s reflection. I was leaning quite close and could smell the scent of cedar and tobacco on him–faint, but enough to make my heart skip a beat.

His finger swiped across the screen as he asked in a low voice: “Do you like this one?”

I was looking down seriously at the photos, not noticing that he was extremely close to me, his voice almost against

my ear.

My heart tightened, and before I could answer, Liz’s voice suddenly came from behind us: “You two are standing so close together!”

Evan and I almost simultaneously straightened up, our eyes meeting briefly before looking away.

Liz, as if she hadn’t noticed anything, bounced back to the snowman and continued tying the scarf around it.

Playtime always passed quickly. By the time we finished taking photos, the sky had begun to darken.

Wisps of smoke were rising from the distant barbecue grill, and the aroma of food drifted through the air, mixed with the cold from the snowy ground, making it particularly enticing.

Lights began to turn on in the camp’s tents, casting warm glows that created soft halos on the white snow.

“Do you eat seafood?” Evan suddenly asked me.

“Yes.” I nodded.

He picked out a few perfectly cooked seafood skewers and handed them to me, his fingers looking warm and distinct in the firelight.

When I took the skewers, my fingertips accidentally touched his for a moment, and I felt somewhat stunned.

There were more people at the campsite than I had expected. The tents weren’t densely distributed, but it was still lively, with faint sounds of laughter and children playing.

I heard there would be a bonfire party later, and it seemed some people were already preparing music and

firewood.

“Are you going to participate?” Evan turned to ask me.

Before I could answer, Liz had already thrown herself into my arms, her eyes sparkling: “Auntie, of course you have to join us!”

A gentle smile appeared on Evan’s face. He was about to speak when his phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Ethan.

He picked up the phone and walked a few steps away to answer.

“Want to go drinking later?” Ethan’s voice was as warm as usual.

“I won’t go. You guys go ahead.” Evan’s tone was indifferent.

“What’s wrong with you? You’ve been all mysterious lately, never coming to gatherings. What are you busy with?

At this moment, Liz bounced over again, holding a hot grilled wing: “Uncle, eat the grilled wing quickly!”

Evan bent down slightly and took the skewer from her hand.

Ethan on the other end of the phone had obviously heard this too. “Are you eating barbecue?”

“Yes.” His tone remained restrained and calm.

“Where?!” Ethan suddenly sounded energetic. “Outside?”

“Camping.” Evan responded concisely.

“Holy shit! You really know how to pick places! It’s been snowing these past few days–camping, barbecu snowball fights, and bonfires, perfect combination! How did I not think of this!”
