He had an automatic reaction to being called 'cute' -- whether it was actually him being called cute, or something he said earning the title. Cody's cheeks flushed a bit, and he rolled up onto the balls of his feet, pretending to scan the baggage claim for her bag so hopefully Emma wouldn't notice. Being weird was one thing -- something he'd gladly own up to. But blushing? It was embarrassing!
"Frostbite?" he asked, glancing back over at her. "How do you get frostbite when you go skiing? I'd think it would be pretty hard... unless you were skiing naked."
God. Cody couldn't believe he'd just said that. He hoped that if he could just keep his smile in place that she'd think it was funny and not... embarrassing again.
