Mia
Nothing was going rightâabsolutely nothing.
The days seemed to trickle by with no word from the guys in Texas; Dad was being stubborn, Mom was getting frustrated, and to top it all off, Ryan came down while I was in the kitchen with his duffel bag over his shoulder.
My stomach sank.
âHey, sis,â he grinned and kissed my cheek. âIâve gotta go back to the Institute.â
I rolled my eyes. âStop referring to the school as if it was a prison.â
âThe town is called Fort Collins,â Ryan laughed. âItâs a prison.â
âWhy so soon?â I asked while making my coffee.
He made a cup to go and ruffled his hair. âBefore I came here, Iâd erm⦠slacked off on some work. So, Iâve got to go back to the lab and get on it before my professors catch on, and those Petri dishes donât have the cultures theyâre supposed to have.â
âOkay,â I held back a sigh. âCall me when you get there.â
He gave me a one-armed hug and grinned, holding the travel cup high as a salute as he headed out the door. When I heard his truck rumble away, I slumped over the counter and rubbed my face. I was all over the place.
I needed to talk to Ethan, but I was too scared to.
I was freaking out about the Texas contract but was hesitant to contact them.
My deal with Dad was hanging on the line. If I didnât get this deal, my dream to take over before Dad died was, wellâ¦dead.
When have you turned into a coward, Mia?
Heading up to my room, I took a shower, dressed, and headed out to the town, hoping I could find Ethan and I would most likely find him at his Meadery. I stopped at Hot Joe to get a breakfast muffin.
âDo you have any vegan options?â I asked.
âYep,â Harvey replied. âWeâve been making a few stuff, mainly because Ethan Vega canât cook for shit, and he comes here on a daily.â
I bust out laughing. âI thought you were his friend.â
âI am,â Harvey shrugged. âDoesnât mean I canât be honest. Do you want a few?â
âPlease,â I replied.
Standing aside, I watched as Harvey filled a box with apple, almond crunch, cinnamon rolls muffins, and banana muffins with apple chunks, and I paid for the box. I took my stuff and headed to the Meadery and found it on a high crank. I suppose it was normal because, after harvest, it was customary to start restocking again.
I met Benji downstairs with a clipboard in hand. He looked up, his expression guarded. âMiss Sullivan, the cape I ordered for you just came in. Please let me get it for you.â
âCape?â I asked, confused.
âYou ran past me so fast last time I thought you were Superwoman in disguise,â he drawled.
âHence the cape.â
My face flamed, âEr, sorry about that. Is EthâMister Vega here?â
âHeâs in his office, but please let me call up first,â he said, tapping the headphones on his ear and holding a quick conversation with Ethan.
I pretended to look around to give him some privacy and grew to admire Ethanâs setup.
