As I store his number in my contacts—under Edward Yummyhair Cullen—my only regret is that I didn't think to take a picture of him.

Hmmm, maybe Friday…

Rocking that 5:00 shadow…

Doing that jaw hinge thing in the mirror…

After he's run his fingers through his wild mop a few hundred times…

And those sweet bowed lips are rosy and plump after treating me to a taste or two or a thousand…

I tuck Edward safely away and splash my overheated face with cool water.

I'm starting to think this new job won't be so boring after all.

A/N: Stay tuned in the New Year...Hairward is going to tell the story from chapter 46 forward...but not until his hair grows back a bit.

Thanks for all the love and daily check-ins! I hope this tasty little morsel effectively tided you over for the posting of Slippery Slope Chapter 3 tomorrow. You better re-read 1 and 2 so you can find them on the mountain!

WISHING ALL OF YOU A SAFE AND FESTIVE NEW YEAR'S EVE! KEA and Slippery Slope post tomorrow! ~BOH
