Slate by Ava Pearl

Slate:
I grew up in these mountains.
After college on a ski scholarship,
The silence of the wilderness calls me back.
And then she shows up, all smiling and ethereal.
She must be my wife.

Maya:
It’s Valentine’s Day weekend.
All I want is a guy-free weekend in the mountains with my best girl-friends.
Until they ditch me with the super-hero Sex-on-Skis ski instructor.
I’ll let him teach me a thing or two.
