"I'll go with you," she stated as she pulled her sweater over her head. "I've never done it, but I'm game."
The man smiled as he watched her dress. One of the things he adored about the woman was her sense of adventure. He always had such fun with her; she made his life worth living.
"How cold will it be?"
The man slid next to her and placed his hand upon her waist. "I'll have a heater, so it won't be bad at all. I know how much you love the cold," he teased. The woman rolled her eyes and grinned. "Right," she replied and softly pinched the inside of the man's arm. He flinched and chuckled. God, he loved her.
They agreed to go ice fishing the following Saturday. The man was to meet the woman around 11 am after she finished work. The forecast was for sunny skies with a high of 27 degrees-a perfect day for fishing. With the woman going, though, it was a perfect day for anything.
"I have some sub sandwiches and a bottle of vodka, juice and your favorite recreational beverage," she announced as she walked to his ATV. He smiled and motioned her towards the sled he had hooked up. She unloaded the goods next to the sled. "Come here," she directed and pulled him close to her. "It's so good to see you." Her arms wrapped around his insulated torso as she drew him close and inhaled his warmth. "Let's fish."
The two buzzed out a mile or two from shore and set up the the shack. The man unloaded a heater and cranked it going, drilled four holes inside the shack, one outside, set his poles, and cracked open a beer. The woman asked numerous questions as he went about his business, always obliging her with answers. After eating their sandwiches, they sat back and talked while they drank their beverages.
"Is fishing with a woman bad luck?" she asked as she removed her coat. It was very comfortable in the shack-cozy and warm.
