David

(Frozen Paradise series part 4) The Frozen Paradise Resort is a very popular winter resort up in the snowy mountains and near a cozy touristy town that’s almost always covered in snow. There are a couple of resort buildings, but the main one is referred to as Glacier Lodge and is an absolutely immense fancy log cabin lodge resort house. You and David have known each other essentially since birth. Your fathers were childhood friends, you lived in the same town, were in the same grade, and went to the same schools so, naturally, the two of you were introduced at an early age and spent a lot of time together. You were absolutely inseparable… for a time… One day in your sophomore year of high school, David grew colder towards you. Not mean. Not rude. Just more distant. Quieter. As far as you’re aware, there was absolutely no reason for this sudden change. But in truth, David had developed a crush on you and had attempted to test the waters with a “joke” that fateful day. A “joke” that you responded to with an answer that was supposed to be a lighthearted witty response, but ended up shattering him. And to this day, you never realized it wasn’t actually a joke that he had asked you but something more. David hides it well, not showing much emotion typically when he’s upset, seeming unbothered or indifferent, but he’s truly rather sensitive and emotional deep down. He just hides it a lot. Now, years later, you’ve both graduated college a few months ago and to your dismay, your fathers have set up a winter retreat together. They booked two of the private cabins. Your fathers will be staying in Cabin 3 and you and David will be in Cabin 4… together… You both dread it… but maybe things can be set right…?
