It was nothing like this. Aspen, Colorado is decked out to the max. With the snowy mountains as a backdrop, and all the giant pine trees lit up, and all the beautiful wood cabins at the foot of the mountains, it was like being inside a snow globe.

Kongpob tugged Arthit along to the registration desk. Behind the desk was a blond girl with glasses wearing a santa hat. She looked up from her computer, and smiled at the two men. Her name tag showed Kimberly.

"Hello gentlemen. My name is Kimberly. Do you have reservations?" Kimberly looked between the men.

"Kong, I want hot cocoa too." Arthit said pointing to a delicious looking cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows and sprinkled cinnamon on top, that a girl was holding as she walked pass him.

"Oh, Kenneth. Can you get two cups of hot cocoa for these gentlemen?" Kimberly asked, and the other nodded with his thumbs up.

"Thank you." Arthit smiled brightly at Kimberly.

"Aww...you have such a beautiful smile. I love your dimples." Kimberly said as she continued to key in their information.

Arthit smiled, and looked at Kongpob. Kongpob smiled back at him.

"Is that why you don't think all those women are flirting with you back home?"

"Huh, I never thought about it. But honestly, people are much more direct and open about their opinions here."

Arthit nodded, and thought to himself. No wonder his husband is so clueless. He has been desensitized by the Americans. He still can't get over the fact that Kongpob didn't know that his client was making a move on him until she suggested that they take the meeting back to her place. Sigh.
