I didn’t realize it at the time, but the first clue in my sister’s disappearance
was the shoes.
Running shoes, in oxblood red, Gaia’s favorite color. She’s always
moaned about her ridiculously massive feet. She’s tall, so that’s the payoff
for the endless legs, I guess. But then she’d scored these gorgeous blood red
sneaks, and she loved them.
They were memorable shoes. So you would have thought I’d remember
them that chilly morning on the day of her disappearance. I even tripped
over the stupid things, nearly broke my neck. You might assume that later,
I’d put two and two together. If her blood red sneakers were on our
bedroom floor here at the holiday lodge, Gaia couldn’t be out running.
But you’d be wrong to assume anything about me.
“Did Gaia stay at her place last night, or here?” Dad had asked, happily
frying breakfast leftovers.
I frowned, thinking back to leaving the party. It was at Gaia’s friends’
house, a last-night get-together for all the kids who work here at the ski
resort, and I’d tagged along. When the party ended, I’d lingered by the open
door awkwardly, trying to ignore a couple making out noisily on the deck
while I waited. Gaia was inside on the stairs, deep in conversation with one
of her work friends, her black, curly hair bouncing as she talked, brown
eyes wide and expressive. I’d felt bad for interrupting, but also very ready
to ditch and head home.
“Hey, Es, go. I’ll be right behind you, okay?” Gaia eventually turned,
gave me an encouraging—or possibly snarky—thumbs-up.
“It’s snowing again. Didn’t this place get the memo about spring?” I
remember I shivered, glanced at my watch. It said 10:35 p.m., but the
second hand wasn’t moving. Dead. I had no idea how long we’d stayed at
the party—that’s one of my things, time is totally meaningless—but I
suppose it must have been well into the early morning.
“Seriously, I’ll be fine, Es,” Gaia shouted. “I can cope with a lil’ snow,
ya know!”
True enough. She’s been working the ski season at Moon Mountain
Resort since last November. It’s her gap year, before she goes to college
here in America, and me and the folks are visiting from England. Gaia’s
majorly smart, a scholarship kid. I had to hope she’d be able to find her way
back to the holiday lodge.
“I’ll walk Gaia home.” Craig appeared, blocking the view of my sister
with his tall, muscled frame. He’s American, a ski instructor, one of Gaia’s
friends. And, lucky fella, he’d been my teacher on the slopes this past week.
I’m so horrible at skiing I think I nearly broke him. Not that I feel guilty
about it; he’s kind of the worst.
