Evan

Immature? Irresponsible? Who does he think he is? So what if he hosts some video channel online? No one knows his name. No one cares who he is.

I peel my clothes from my body and turn on the shower. Adley had to go and ruin some perfectly healthy fun, because it didn’t fit his mold for what he wanted. Return to basics? What’s more wholesome than a food fight?

Besides, Brooke looked good with all that red icing covering her jaw. It set off her dark eyes. Well, at least the one I hadn’t covered in green. I laugh at the memory. She’s something else. Not your average woman, that’s for sure.

But Adley had to ruin everything. I step into the water and watch the holiday colors swirl near the drain. I wish I could wash the image of them kissing down the drain. But it’s printed on my mind, playing and replaying on a continuous loop. I walked out before I had a chance to see her reaction. She’d been gunning for him all day, not like I wanted to see her kiss him back.

I catch sight of my bandage through the falling water. Sure, she kissed me last night, but not really, and not much could have happened since Martha showed up early. I groan and turn to let the spray hit me square in the face.

It’s all part of farmhouse fever. It has to be. It’s got me strung out over this girl, and nothing else seems to matter anymore. If I could get out for a while, try to clear my head, maybe I could think straight again.

My phone rings in the next room. I debate ignoring it, but the ringtone belongs to Andrew. The Christmas war paint is gone anyway. I cut the water, step out, wrap a towel around my waist, and snag my phone off the bed.

“What now?”

“Nice to hear from you too. You’ve had a busy day, haven’t you?”

I swipe at the errant water dripping into my eyes. “Just say whatever you want to say. I’m out of patience today.”

“I forget you don’t have Wi-Fi access there. You’re trending from a few different directions, brother. Between the caroler chase off and this love triangle, you’re really working that bad boy angle, aren’t you?’

I groan. “The caroler incident was a mistake. I thought it was the press again. And I don’t know what you’re talking about with the love triangle.”

Computer keys clack through the phone. He’s likely looking for the exact article.

“And I quote, ‘trouble on the inn front? Popular lifestyle vlogger, Adley Barnes, was seen making a move on Brooke Cratchett, the love interest to Evan Skruggs, food empire king.’ That’s what I’m talking about.”

“Love interest? Who writes this stuff? And how does anyone know about it? It only happened an hour ago.”

“Live feed, remember? You’re streaming to the internet except when I tell Winnie to cut the feed. You’ve got gossip columnists watching those cameras like hawks. That stunt in the middle of the night? Little nurse Cratchett comes to your rescue, that was brilliant, Evan.
