I really know Iâm in trouble now. Iâve been sensing it was coming all day, but this is going to be the icing on the cake. Iâd been working with Sebastian all morning, trying to get everything rolling to turn his home into a winter wonderland. But then Ruby happened.
My phone started blowing up, and Iâd rushed out of Sebastianâs house. I didnât have much of a choice. When your best friend texts you that she needs you right now, you drop everything and get there as quickly as possible. Thatâs exactly what Iâd done when the message came through from Ruby.
Plus, Sebastian gave me this new fancy SUV to use, so I should use it. Iâve never been a person that gets excited over a vehicle, but the whole ceiling of the Land Rover is a window. Itâs the largest sunroof Iâve ever seen. You can see the snow falling from above. The whole vehicle is magical. Itâs perfect.
Or it was until I backed into Knoxâs mailbox in my attempt to escape his home after getting Ruby. Iâm not sure what the damages are. I didnât stop to check in my haste. We didnât make it very far before her man, Knox, was all over us, stealing her right back. Theyâd had a small misunderstanding he needed to work out. Theyâre meant for one another.
My heart melted seeing the way he chased after her. Heâs so in love with her. I mean, the man got pink Christmas lights on his house for her! Nothing says love like shiny pink lights. Knox would really do anything to make her happy. A wave of sadness tries to rush through me, but I fight it back. Iâm truly happy for her, but I canât help but want what she has for myself.
Now Rubyâs gone, and Iâm sitting on Main Street trying to figure out if I should pop over to the bakery for some treats before heading back to Sebastianâs big house.
My phone starts ringing again through the vehicle. âMr. GrumpyPantsâ shows up across the screen on the dashboard. I donât know how my phone is hooked up to the car, but Sebastian must have done it at some point. It doesnât really surprise me that heâs made sure he could get in touch with me. He always wants full access.
Heâd shown me the car this morning after I woke up in his bed.
Still not sure how that one happened. I remember repairing Rudolph's nose in front of the fireplace in Sebastian's office while I hummed to Christmas music on my phone. Sebastian sat at his desk and watched me the whole time. At least thatâs what it felt like he was doing.
Anytime Iâd glance his way, heâd start clicking on his computer until I went back to Rudolph. Grinchy was laid out across his desk snoozing away. When Sebastian insisted I pack a bag to stay the night, saying I had a lot of work to catch up on, I insisted that Grinchy come with us.
