What in the hell just happened? One minute it was a peaceful week with a sexy guy I was getting to know again. Then the doorbell rang, and in walked my overbearing family, with a real freaking tree and so many bags, it was as if they were staying a month. I was definitely pissed they’d disregarded my request to spend time alone, but I was ticked for other reasons as well. Obviously.

I’d been doing my thing and enjoying my time with Blair. We’d kissed and gotten off with each other, and I supposed I was hoping for more since he was so carefree about it, which was refreshing. Now all that would be coming to an end. I guess I should’ve been thankful we hadn’t totally crossed the line yet.

What’s a little hand job in the middle of watching a Netflix series?

I nearly laughed out loud at the idea of my lunatic family showing up to put a stop to it all. So maybe it was a blessing in disguise.

Blair seemed as shell-shocked as me but also pretty amused as he watched my mother take action, assigning rooms and then tasks to my father and brother. He’d normally enjoyed my family, so it made sense that he could forgive their harebrained idea so easily. But I also thought he’d been enjoying our secluded little retreat as well.

Wait a minute, did I just call it ours? Here I go again. It was difficult not to think of it in that way after all we’d shared in only a handful of days.

Once everyone got settled into their rooms, we offered them cold drinks from the fridge, suddenly placed in awkward host mode even though it was Christopher’s beach house.

Then Dad set the balsam pine in a stand in the corner of the room, and Mom got started on stringing the tree with the tangle of lights Tabitha pulled from their storage closet. Mom seemed satisfied, which was a plus. She loved dramatic displays, inside and outside our house. But now that they’d moved to a smaller condo in the Columbus area, she’d had to downsize and donate many of her decorations.

Charlotte had pulled out her Barbies and settled in the great room on the area rug. Blair sank down on the floor with her, and from what I could tell, they were enacting a fashion show using a long swatch of toilet paper as a runway.

Christopher cornered me in the kitchen. “Glad to see you two getting along,” he said with a knowing look. He still wore a hint of apology in his eyes, and I would needle him about this stint for years to come. It was just what brothers did.

“What do you mean?” I looked over my shoulder at the sound of Blair’s animated voice. “We always have.”

He folded his arms as he leaned against the counter. “Maybe when we were kids, but you two have pretty much avoided each other the past few years.”

“Yeah, guess so,” I admitted. “Different lifestyles…and interests.
