One year later, we found ourselves on the plane to BC for our ski trip again.

"Hey, there was a tradition that my mom told me about. It's when you're on a plane," Greg said.

"Cool. What is it?" I asked enthusiastically.

"Well, you know how the bathrooms are only for one person?" he said.

"Yeah," I replied.

"Well, we both go into one of them together and make out in the washroom," he said.

"Huh. Sounds fun! Lets go!" I said, getting up.

"OK," he said and smiled. I took his hand and led him over to the washrooms.

"Uh oh, which one?" I asked, looking at the 'Ladies' and 'Gentlemen' signs.

"Um, how about the girls?" he said.

"Sure, and wow, that's courageous of you!" I commented.

After about 15 minutes, we sneaked back out of the Girl's washroom and back into our seats.

"Where were you guys?" Lizzie asked, concerned.

"Nowhere," we both said at the same time.

"Well, get on your seatbelts. We're about to land, and -" Lizzie started, but was interrupted by Penny, her baby girl. Penny had woken up and was now crying very noisily. Lizzie was now trying to muffle the sound, since people's heads were starting to turn towards her.

"Wow, the cabin looks better than I remember it," I said, stepping into the same cabin as last year.

Greg helped Gordo take all of the suitcases upstairs, while Lizzie and I played with Penny.

"How long have you known Greg now, Mir?" Lizzie asked me.

"Almost two years," I answered.

"Oh. Are you two thinking about - well -?" Lizzie started.

"Well, last year Greg really wanted to, but we haven't talked about anything since. I don't know," I said.

"Well, you should, everybody knows that Penny here could use a playmate!" Lizzie joked. We both laughed until Greg and Gordo came back down.

"You wanna get Penny's snowsuit on, Lizzie?" Gordo asked. "We could go let her play for awhile."

"Sure," Lizzie said and walked away with Penny. Gordo followed.

"So, what's up?" I asked.

Greg looked up. "The luggage?" he answered.

We both laughed for a while.

A few minutes after Lizzie, Gordo and Penny left for the day, Greg and I found us in a passionate embrace on the couch.

"Miranda? You remember last year, how I wanted to - um - and you said in a year or so? Well, it's been a year. When will you be ready?" he asked me.

"I'm ready anytime that you are, Greg," I said. He smiled broadly.

"OK, then," he said, and kissed me. "Tonight," he kissed me again. "By the fireplace," and we kissed again.
