So this is my first fanfiction so please review and tell me what you think.
Chapter 1
The snow was falling heavily outside of an ice cream shop in Odyssey. Inside Connie Kendall was finishing cleaning up for the day. Every so often she looked at the clock waiting for it to be 9:00 so she could lock up and go home. The shop had been empty for over a half an hour as most parents had come to pick up their kids before the snow got too bad. Connie wiped tears from her face as she thought about her life. She wanted to go home but also just wanted to be with people. It just seemed like there was no one around to talk to. Penny was away with Wooton in Alaska visiting his family so the house was empty. Whit was away overseas again doing something, she couldn't even remember what anymore, Eugene and Katrina had taken Buck to Washington for a vacation and wouldn't be back for several days. Everyone she knew was off with their loved ones or doing something exciting and she was left at home, again. She was single but the person she loved wasn't in town either. Even if he was she wouldn't be able to see him as it hurt her to be around him knowing that he probably didn't love her.
The snow was falling heavily as Jason Whittaker pulled into Odyssey. He was tired and just wanted to crawl into was returning from a huge antique auction he had been at for J and J Antiques. The last couple days had been a wake-up call for him. He thought he would be able to leave for a couple days and not miss her even though they were not a couple. But the instant he passed the Thanks for Coming to Odyssey sign he missed her. He wanted to say something to her, to tell her how he felt but was afraid he might ruin an amazing friendship. As the snow came down he realized that he had no food at home. He knew that most grocery stores would be closed already so he headed to Whit's End. His father had always told him that if he ever needed something he was free to take it. His heart sank as he realized that once again he would be coming home to a cold, empty house as his father was away. He wanted to change that but was afraid to. He wanted to have someone waiting for him when he got home. Someone who would love him no matter what and could accept him and all the secrets he carried.
Connie heard a car pull up outside at 8:55. When she looked to see who was coming in right before closing time she saw that the snow had turned into a blizzard. A man came running into the shop, covered in snow. "What can I get for you?" she asked him. The man looked at her and she realized it was the one person that she didn't want to see. It was the man that made her pulse race, the man she wanted to tell how much she loved him. It was Jason Whittaker.
Jason pulled up outside of Whit's End. He was regretting making a detour as the snow was coming down so rapidly he could barely see where he was going. He decided that he would stay at Whit's End until the blizzard stopped. He hoped that whoever was at the shop had locked up and went home early. He knew that his dad kept a cot in his office in case he stayed up late to work on an invention so a place to sleep wasn't a problem. He ran to the shop and his heart sank as he realized the door was still unlocked. Pushing it open he rushed inside and heard a voice. He looked up and saw Connie standing there and looking at him with a look of stark realization on her face.
