CHAPTER TWENTY

Tristan had just left the building after locking up when his phone went off. Given the cold, Tristan waited until he was in the truck with the heat blasting to pull his phone from his coat pocket. He felt a rush of relief when he saw the text from Shayna to let him know they’d arrived in Portage safe and sound.

After sending her a text thanking her and wishing them Merry Christmas, Tristan headed for his apartment. He wanted to open his gift before heading to his folks’ place for the family’s Christmas Eve get-together.

The parking lot at the apartment was empty when he arrived, but Tristan wasn’t surprised since Danica and Sierra had said they’d be going over early to help his mom. It was only the three of them living in the apartment building at the moment, though there was talk about looking for other people who were in need of a place to stay.

He still hoped that he’d made the right decision in not asking his dad about offering the largest apartment to Shayna and Timothy. Now that it looked like she had a roommate to replace Lisa, Tristan hoped that some of the pressure and stress had eased for Shayna. He knew that Eva wouldn’t fill all the roles Lisa had played in their lives, but he hoped her presence would be enough in other areas.

After he walked into the apartment, Tristan took off his boots and left his coat on the coat tree by the door then made a beeline for the bag sitting under the Christmas tree. The lights he’d put on a timer had come on earlier and twinkled brightly in the darkness of the living room. He grabbed the bag and sat down on the couch, leaning over to snap on the lamp sitting on the end table.

The bag wasn’t very big or heavy, so Tristan had no idea what it could be as he pulled out the red tissue paper that was sticking out of the top of it. He put it on the couch and reached back in, his fingers brushing against some fabric.

Pulling it out, he immediately saw that it was a T-shirt. It was gray with the words That’s too much bacon! in large white letters and said no one ever in smaller yellow ones. Tristan grinned at it and could imagine Timothy picking it out.

He found a second T-shirt in the bag. This one was black with white lettering. He laughed out loud as he read the front of it.

I may be but only periodically.

Nerdy had been spelled out using the periodic table symbols for Nitrogen, Erbium, and Dysprosium. Once again, Tristan knew that Timothy had had a hand in choosing that T-shirt.

With a grin, Tristan unbuttoned the shirt he was wearing and dropped it onto the couch beside him. He tugged the gray T-shirt on first and then took a selfie before doing the same with the black one. Deciding to leave the black one
