As expected, Cai stepped outside exactly fifteen minutes later and hurriedly moved backwards, ready to get to work. Lily, sent him a quick glance and then turned toward the pile of snow she had already started gathering. Why did it look so easy to make but would not take shape! Since it was a competition, she wanted the snowman to be perfect- round, classic and worthy of praise.
She crouched down, rolling the base of the snowman with her hands, feeling the cold seeping through her gloves, but she didn't mind, only praying that she did not end up getting frost bite.
Unable to stop herself, she turned around to glance at him, only for him to glare at her as he warned," Don't even think of cheating or peeping!" She shook her head. He'd been working in silence behind her, but the moment she turned around, he got all fierce, scooping up snow in exaggerated motions, clearly determined to outdo her.
