er　sketchbook　and　a　pencil　from　her　bag。　She’d　head　to　the　attic　and　sketch　the　snowstorm；　and　if　she　just　happened　to　run　into　a　boxer…clad　Nate；　she　wouldn’t　plain。

She　slowly　tiptoed　up　the　creaky　stairs　that　led　to　the　attic　and　gasped。　She’d　been　imagining　a　creepy；　cobwebby　crawl　space。　Instead；　Oriental　rugs　covered　the　dark　oak　floors。　Louis　Vuitton　steamer　trunks　and　abandoned　antique　furniture　vied　for　space。　Clothes　were　hanging　on　coatracks；　and　bookshelves　were　overflowing　with　first　editions。　The　old　sleigh　bed　in　the　corner　looked　slept　in；　but　Nate　wasn’t　in　it。　She　couldn’t　be　disappointed；　though—there　was　so　much　else　to　look　at。
