Chapter 1053 - Vacation on Mt. Rainier (2) (2/2)

Sarah and Aiden exchanged glances and shared an understanding that this is too fast for regular recreational skiers, especially because this is not well traveled path and the fresh snow is difficult to ski in.

Less than a minute after Eve's warning, they saw four skiers slow down as they approached them.

Eve identified four as three males and one female. And the fifth skier is a male, located about ten meters behind other newcomers, within the evergreen foliage.

They had large skiing goggles over their eyes and scarves covering their mouths, so their faces were not visible.

”Nice snowman!”, one newcomer called.

”Thanks!”, Sarah responded while turning toward the newcomers.

Aiden got close to Sarah protectively. ”Can we help you?”

The man in front spoke: ”We are looking for our two companions. They descended somewhere down this area today, we are not sure when exactly since they left us this morning. Did you see them?”

”We arrived here this morning and we didn't see anyone come this way. We got out only an hour ago.”, Aiden gestured toward the snowman. ”So, if they passed by here before that, we would not see them.”

Four people exchanged glances and commented on the good size of a snowman before saying their goodbyes and continuing their descent.

Sarah and Aiden returned to work on their snowman.

Few minutes later, Eve informed them that the fifth person took a detour around the cabin before heading down to join his companions.

”Do you think they are looking for us?”, Aiden guessed.

Sarah acknowledged that it is a possibility. ”The guys we left behind woke up about half an hour after we left. If these people are looking for us, they are acting fast. They could see based on the tracks that there were two people on skis. It's logical to assume that we left downhill. Based on their speed and that they came straight here, it's obvious that they are familiar with the area. They are probably checking all the cabins while going downhill and hoping that they get lucky.”

Sarah observed a frown on his handsome face. She removed her glove and pressed gently between his eyebrows. ”Are you worried that they will come back?”

Aiden kissed her palm and didn't respond. He looked at the snowman. ”What is left for this big guy before we can go inside and have hot cocoa?”

”Facial features and arms.”, Sarah responded.

Aiden got a carrot from his pocket and placed it in Sarah's hand. ”Here is the nose. You find something for eyes, and I will go get branches for arms.”

He gave her a quick kiss on the lips before moving toward the back of the cabin to find branches.

Sarah looked at the carrot in her hand and smiled. He got it from the pantry on his way out because he knew they will need it for the snowman. Her Aiden thinks of everything.
