She’d sat on the bench, trying to figure out what to wish for. It had been so long since she’d hoped for anything for herself, mostly just that things wouldn’t change from the easy-going pace it had been for the last few months. Knowing herself, she’d finally wished that she could be happy no matter what changed in the next few months.

Of all the times Susie could pop up, why did it have to be right now? The night had been close to magical, and while Becca wasn’t sure she trusted all the emotions flowing through her, she’d had a feeling that Colton was starting to like her a bit.

As much as she tried to tamp down those feelings, a giddiness flowed through her. He’d pulled her closer, helping her warm up a bit against the wind. Maybe she should have said she needed to get home since it was getting late and colder. But she found she wanted whatever it was she was feeling to last a bit longer.

Now, with Susie standing there in her perfect outfit and runway-ready hairstyle, Becca realized her chances were slim. Susie had admitted the other day how she had her eye on the stranger, and Becca was bound to come out on the losing end. Not that she was bad-looking, but flirting wasn’t something she was a master at.

Susie had taken over the assignment of directing the Founder’s Day Festival this year, giving Becca a break after the last four years. Becca was grateful for the extra time. Or, she had been until Mr. Carpenter came to town.

Susie shook her head. “No, seriously, we’re in trouble. I’ll admit it. There’s a lot of pressure since you pulled it off without a hitch for so long. Can you please just give me your opinion on a few things? Your eye for placement and style is flawless.”

Heat brushed up Becca’s neck, and she made sure to avoid eye contact with Colton. Being good at things outside of making money had been something Peter thought was a waste of time. He’d enjoyed it the first year he’d come to the festival, but once he got his job with the big construction company in Denver, all he ever talked about was work. Was that when he’d begun to change? With the new job?

Shaking her head, Becca knew now was not the time to dissect her past relationship.

“I don’t know what I can do to help, Susie. You have some great skills for planning events too. I mean, you plan weddings. Those are way more intense than the town festival.” Becca was surprised the words came out of her mouth, but she realized they were true. Susie had a natural flair for things that came easily enough for Becca, but she was able to capitalize on it enough to create a wonderland.

Susie bent over and grabbed her wrist, pulling her to a standing position. “Just indulge me, please. I know how big of a deal this is to the town, and I don’t want to ruin it.
