smell was less strong as they entered the park-- probably, Liz realized, because they were no longer parked right over the manure!

    The stars twinkled in the midnight blue sky. Liz shiv- ered in her light dress.

    "Cold?" Parker asked, putting his arm around her and pulling her close.

    "Parker," Liz said, "I don't know how to thank you. Tonight was amazing.The premiere, the restaurant--"

    "Liz," Parker held a finger up to her lips, silencing her. "I go to things like this all the time, and they've never been fun before. Not till tonight." He leaned forward and kissed her lips.

    Liz leaned against the high back of the carriage, feel- ing Parker's weight press against her, his kisses more and more passionate, more urgent. Liz wrapped her arms around him, matching him kiss for kiss. She'd never felt this turned on before, this desired. She'd never wanted a guy the way she wanted Parker.

    Suddenly, there was a start.

    The carriage lurched forward and began swaying madly. Parker and Liz rolled apart and wham! Liz slammed onto the carriage floor.

    My dress! Liz thought in a panic. Even worse--I'm

    sprawled on the floor! How totally uncool.

    "Whoa!" the driver shouted. "Whoa!" The carriage slowed to a halt.

    Parker reached down and helped Liz back up onto the seat. She checked her dress for damage. Other than some smudges, it was okay. Nothing torn. I see dry cleaning in this baby's future, she thought.

    "What the hell happened?" Parker demanded of the driver.

    "You two okay?" the driver asked with concern."The horse threw a shoe and spooked. I won't charge you, sorry."

    "Are you all right?" Parker asked Liz.

    "I think so," Liz said. "Purse, shawl, necklace, shoes. Yup. I'm still all here."

    "I should have you fired," Parker told the driver.

    Liz put her hand on Parker's arm. "It's okay. It was an accident."

    Parker settled back down."Okay, just take us back," he instructed.The carriage started up again--slowly.

    "Well," said Parker,"I guess the carriage ride was a bad idea. Which sucks, because I really wanted to leave you with a perfect memory of this evening."

    "It was perfect, Parker . . . ," Liz said. "And we can make some more memories over Christmas break starting next week," she added. The martinis had made her bold.

    Either that or the intense making out. Maybe it was a good thing the horse spooked and stopped all that, she thought. When it comes to Parker, I have no self-restraint!

    "Well, that's just it," Parker said, taking her hand. "We can't. My family and I are going skiing in Aspen."

    "That sounds fun," she said, looking down at his hand holding hers. She didn't want him to see her disappoint- ment. She had thought they'd spend the two weeks off from school together.

    "Aspen is really cool," Parker said, "I wish . . . never mind." He looked away as the carriage stopped in the spot where they had started.

    The driver climbed down from his seat and opened the door to the carriage. Parker helped Liz down.

    "Let's call a town car and get you home," he said.

    "You don't have to do that," Liz said. She knew Parker lived only a block away. "I'll just get a cab."

    "Oh, come on!" Parker pulled out his cell phone.

    "No, really. It's no big deal," Liz insisted.

    Parker shrugged, stepped into the street, and flagged down a cab. He held open the door for her, and Liz kissed him, long and hard.

    Leaving him grinning, Liz slid into the cab and Parker closed the door. He stood on the curb watching the taxi as it drove away.

    Well, Liz thought, turning back around in the seat, I

    didn't turn into a pumpkin.

    She sighed and leaned back, watching the streets go by in a blur.

    But even Cinderella's prince didn't run off to Aspen in the middle of the fairy tale!
