Chapter Ten

Ty knocked on her door right at five the next night. Kazlyn waited in the front entry, so she could beat her brothers to the door. She swung it open to a whiff of Ty’s clean scent and cold air and couldn’t resist hugging him. She backed up and gestured him into the house.

“Come in.” She didn’t really want him to face her brothers again, but if she wanted this relationship to go anywhere, she couldn’t deny them. Also, her mom hadn’t had a chance to meet Ty.

“You look beautiful.” Ty’s eyes swept over her fitted knee-length sweater dress, tights, and boots. “I didn’t realize I was supposed to dress up.”

Kazlyn did a quick pirouette. “It’s just comfy and warm.”

Ty placed his hand on her waist. The look in his eyes made her feel special and made her want to do more than just hug him. “The way you move is…beautiful. Like everything is a dance.”

Kazlyn understood why women swooned.

“And the schmoozer decided to knock on our front door.” Luke strode into the entryway, followed closely by Porter.

Tension filled the room. Kazlyn debated which name to call Luke first.

Porter extended his hand. “Porter Wilson.”

“Tyrese Hamilton. It’s nice to meet you.” Relief swept across Ty’s features. He grinned and Kazlyn wondered how anyone could resist him.

“You, too,” Porter said.

Kazlyn arched an eyebrow at Luke. He sighed loudly and extended his hand. “Luke.”

“Nice to meet you, Luke.” Ty stood so confident with his characteristic grin on his face. If he worried about Luke throwing another punch, he didn’t show it.

Kazlyn’s mom rushed into the entryway and saved Luke from replying. “Oh, Ty, oh, my, you’re just so handsome and tall. You’re taller than Luke.”

Ty laughed and extended his hand. Rebecca brushed it away and gave him a hug. She was so short her head didn’t clear his chest.

“I understand you couldn’t go home for Christmas,” Rebecca said. “I’m so sorry.”

“Thank you, ma’am.”

“None of this ma’aming nonsense. Will you come to church and dinner with us tomorrow?”

“I’d love to.”

Luke scowled, but Porter smiled as he watched the interaction. Kazlyn tugged on Ty’s arm. “We’re going to go now.”

Ty held the door open for her. “I’ll see you all tomorrow.”

Luke stepped up to the door and delivered his parting shot, “Take as good of care of her as you’d want someone to take of your little sisters.”

Ty nodded solemnly. “You can count on it.”

Luke cracked a brief smile before closing the door.

“You can breathe now.” Kazlyn bumped him with her shoulder.

Ty wrapped his arm around her and laughed. “Was I that obvious?”

“No, but I know Luke can be scary.”

“It’s a good big brother quality.”

They drove to the open town square crowded with carnival rides, games, and food vendors. The night was wonderful, as they laughed through corn dogs, fried pickles, hot cocoa, looks from all the locals, and introductions and hugs from old friends and neighbors.

They got whiplash and the giggles on the bumper cars and Kazlyn almost lost her fried pickles on the Tilt-a-Whirl.
