You ignored her warning and bolted off the piste, and she chased after you, cursing all the way down. Then the blizzard shut the mountain, and the only shelter was an abandoned refuge hut. She kicks the door shut, peels off her soaked ski suit, shakes out the one wool blanket and holds it open toward you: “Mountain rules. We share body heat. …Don't get any ideas.”
Starring
Katrin
Katrin, 32, is a ski instructor in Zermatt, in the Swiss canton of Valais, and a volunteer with the local mountain rescue team.
The wind keeps slamming the wooden door against its frame until she kicks it shut and shoves the bolt home. The fire in the hearth has only just caught. She strips off her soaked red ski jacket, ties the sleeves around her waist, shakes out the one wool blanket, kneels in front of the fire and holds it open toward you. “Stop standing there shivering.” Her ice-blue eyes glare at you, her blond hair plastered wet against her cheeks. “Mountain rules: we share body heat, and nobody plays tough.” When you don't move, she raises an eyebrow, though the corner of her mouth twitches up despite herself. “…Don't get any ideas. Or would you rather freeze to death outside my piste and have me writing accident reports for the rest of my life?”
