going to do everything I can to help her.”
    “At least we know she isn’t going to ask for any money,” Ethan tried joking. No one laughed this time.
    “All she asked for so far is just to stay here with us and then go on her way later on,” Brad reasoned. “That really doesn’t seem like all that much to be asking. Scott’s right. She is a nice person. I still like having her around, even though now that I know who she is, I probably won’t be making anymore moves on her.”
    “A little out of your league there?” Ethan teased him.
    “Out of your league, too, ladies’ man.”
    “She’s better than Gena anyway,” Scott kidded him.
    “I’ll admit to that.” Brad forced himself to smile.
    Ethan had made up his mind. He walked back to the front room and sat down on the couch in front of their giant-screen TV, turning it on with the remote. “This doesn’t change a thing,” he told his brothers. “So she’s a rich and famous celebrity. Who cares? I don’t personally. I’m going on with my week of vacation as if nothing had happened. If she wants to hang out here with us, I’m cool with that. Hell, I’ve already given up my bedroom to her.”
    Scott pumped his fist in the air. “This is going to be so awesome, guys. I love her. I have always loved her. Remember when she used to be on the Chrissie Murphy show on TV? I thought she was the greatest thing in the world back then. I think that even more now that I’ve met her in person.”
    “Well, maybe at least we’ll be able to get her autograph before she leaves,” Brad joked.
    “Take it easy, guys,” Ethan called into them. “Baby brother said it best. She’s just a person like we are.”
    “Fess up, Ethan,” Scott chided him. “You like her as much as we do.”
    “Sure. What’s not to like? She’s one hot chick but not exactly in our league, bro.”
    “Hey, guys! What’s going on?” Chrissie exited from the bedroom and came back out to join them. Her brilliant smile returned after her earlier bout with sadness. She was still clutching her fur around her.
    When Chrissie came out to join them, Ethan was proud of them for pretending like nothing was out of the ordinary. They played dumb with their knowledge of who she was. But Ethan knew they had just opened up an impossible situation for themselves that couldn’t really have a good ending for any of them.

Chapter Four

    Chrissie awakened to a new day feeling strangely refreshed and alive like she hadn’t felt in years. Bright white light was shining inside the bedroom through the large, single window toward the foot of the bed. The bed was really small, but the sheets and mattress had been soft and comfortable, allowing for a good night’s rest.
    Chrissie stretched out on the bed, raising her arms above her head. At her feet, already awake for the new day, were Peaches and Cream, curled up and looking warm and cute against the quilt of the bed. Her mind was as clear as the white of the snow outside the window, but surprisingly she couldn’t remember at first much of what happened the day before.
    For a brief second she didn’t even know where she was waking up this morning. Then it came back to her, and she shuddered. Yesterday had been the worst day of her life.
    She pulled her legs out from under the covers and hopped off the side of the bed. She had worn her fur coat to sleep in because last night it had still been chilly inside the cabin. This morning the fire out in the hearth had done its job, and everything was toasty warm and the coat was no longer comfortable.
    When she took off the coat, she realized she was still wearing the little black party dress from the night before, her silk panties, and nothing else. Perhaps the guys had a place to go shopping around here. They seemed like such nice men. She felt they would take care of everything.
    “How are my babies this morning?” she cooed down at Peaches and Cream, who gave her fingers a good morning lick in return.
