He watched the snowball sail gracefully though the air, arcing downwards towards its mark. It hit her square in the back of the neck, getting snow into all the little nooks and crannies between her shirt and her skin. She squealed and hunched her shoulders up in response. He snorted, covering his mouth with his hand to hide a big grin on his lips.
"Okay, that's it! You're going down!" she shouted to him, laughing as she turned around. Andy bent down and scooped up some snow, constructing the perfect snowball.
"I don't think you can hit me from way over there," Bobby shouted back to her, not bothering to hide his grin anymore.
"Oh no?" She lobbed the snowball at him and he watched as it passed over his head.
He laughed. "No." He gathered more snow, balled it up, and threw it at her, hitting her just above the hip.
She balled up a handful of snow, but instead of releasing it in his general direction, she decided to take the kamikaze approach. She started running towards him, snowball raised above her head. He just stuffed his hand in his pocket and stood his ground, still smiling. Once she felt she was close enough, Andy used her forward momentum to propel the snowball at him. He easily ducked out of the wet projectile's path. She stopped a few feet in front of him.
"What the hell…that's not fair!" she laughed. He closed the distance between them, putting his hand on her shoulder.
"All's fair in love and snowballs."
She nodded. "Yeah, you're right. I guess that means I can do this," she said, giving him a hard, playful shove, catching him off guard. Bobby tried to regain his balance, but wasn't able to get his hand out of his pocket fast enough to steady himself and fell over, landing in a deep snow bank. He sat on the ground, snow up to his shoulders, and looked up at her, incredulous. Andy doubled over, laughing hysterically, and added, "I think I win."
He laughed. "Oh no you don't." He reached up and took her hand, pulling her down into the snow next to him.
She took a handful of snow and threw it at him. "Jerk!" she laughed.
He smiled, reaching up to cup her cheek. He tangled his hand in her hair and kissed her softly. "I love you," he whispered.
"Now you're just trying to redeem yourself," she whispered back.
"Is it working?"
"Mm…maybe."
