Merry

I really know I’m in trouble now. I’ve been sensing it was coming all day, but this is going to be the icing on the cake. I’d been working with Sebastian all morning, trying to get everything rolling to turn his home into a winter wonderland. But then Ruby happened.

My phone started blowing up, and I’d rushed out of Sebastian’s house. I didn’t have much of a choice. When your best friend texts you that she needs you right now, you drop everything and get there as quickly as possible. That’s exactly what I’d done when the message came through from Ruby.

Plus, Sebastian gave me this new fancy SUV to use, so I should use it. I’ve never been a person that gets excited over a vehicle, but the whole ceiling of the Land Rover is a window. It’s the largest sunroof I’ve ever seen. You can see the snow falling from above. The whole vehicle is magical. It’s perfect.

Or it was until I backed into Knox’s mailbox in my attempt to escape his home after getting Ruby. I’m not sure what the damages are. I didn’t stop to check in my haste. We didn’t make it very far before her man, Knox, was all over us, stealing her right back. They’d had a small misunderstanding he needed to work out. They’re meant for one another.

My heart melted seeing the way he chased after her. He’s so in love with her. I mean, the man got pink Christmas lights on his house for her! Nothing says love like shiny pink lights. Knox would really do anything to make her happy. A wave of sadness tries to rush through me, but I fight it back. I’m truly happy for her, but I can’t help but want what she has for myself.

Now Ruby’s gone, and I’m sitting on Main Street trying to figure out if I should pop over to the bakery for some treats before heading back to Sebastian’s big house.

My phone starts ringing again through the vehicle. ‘Mr. GrumpyPants’ shows up across the screen on the dashboard. I don’t know how my phone is hooked up to the car, but Sebastian must have done it at some point. It doesn’t really surprise me that he’s made sure he could get in touch with me. He always wants full access.

He’d shown me the car this morning after I woke up in his bed.

Still not sure how that one happened. I remember repairing Rudolph's nose in front of the fireplace in Sebastian's office while I hummed to Christmas music on my phone. Sebastian sat at his desk and watched me the whole time. At least that’s what it felt like he was doing.

Anytime I’d glance his way, he’d start clicking on his computer until I went back to Rudolph. Grinchy was laid out across his desk snoozing away. When Sebastian insisted I pack a bag to stay the night, saying I had a lot of work to catch up on, I insisted that Grinchy come with us.
