Lisa and Jisoo had finishing bringing in the luggage and were chatting across the front desk, each getting caught up on what the other had been doing during the off-season, when Chaeyoung came out from Jennie's room.   "I think you'll see a different side of Jennie when she comes out in a few minutes," Chaeyoung said to Lisa.   "What did you do to her?" Lisa asked, somewhat awestruck that Chaeng had apparently been able to reset Jennie's mood just like that.   Chaeyoung shrugged. "I just reminded her of some things - nothing any good friend wouldn't have done."   "Well, thank you," Lisa said, hoping that everything was going to turn out as well and Chaeyoung seemed to think it would.   Chaeyoung came up and hugged Lisa across the desk.

It was sort of a time capsule of a lost golden age of ski resorts. Lisa wondered what it would be like to live at the lodge year-round. Of course, she thought, as she put another log on the fire, that would depend. A large part of it would depend on why she was living here year-round. Was she here year-round because she was a full-time assistant manager? Or was she here year-round because she and Jennie were a couple again? Or was she here year-round because she and Jennie were a couple again AND she was a full-time assistant manager? As she warmed her hands by the fire, Lisa played out all the scenarios in her mind. They were all desirable, in their way, though certainly some were more desireable than others.   Just then Lisa heard the sound of

Much to my surprise, I'm back to writing Second Winter at Fire Lodge! A lot happens this chapter, but mainly centered around the minor characters.

And I promise all you Chaesoo shippers I'll have something good for you next time - there just wasn't room for it this time around!
