Chapter 10

The sun breaks out through the cloud cover, shining all of its autumn glory over the Haunted Harvest Festival fairgrounds—and the Montgomerys have their farm set up in exactly that way.

This week’s newest addition is a series of tents where local businesses and crafters showcase their wares. And it just so happens to be where I was able to track down a certain quasi-celebrity author and her underling—Ginger King and Scout Pratt.

And knowing that Ginger would be here is the exact reason I decided to bring Peanut along. The tiny black and white puppy leaps and skips with unmitigated joy as he takes in the farm. Okay, so maybe I didn’t exactly tell him we would be bumping into Ginger, but he doesn’t have to worry regardless. There’s no way I’m letting anything happen to him—and he is definitely coming home with me.

I could live here, Bizzy. I love the great outdoors. There’s nothing like a little sunshine on my back to make me feel young again.

A tiny laugh bumps through me. “Peanut, you are a puppy,” I say, giving his leash a playful tug.

I haven’t just brought Peanut along for the ride, I brought my wild-for-the-Wilders sister along as well.

Macy and I hit the hot apple cider booth before we head toward the craft booths and I take a careful sip of my cider before examining my spicy sister. Her blonde hair is stick straight, hitched back behind her ears, and she and I have inadvertently donned matching yellow and black flannels, worn jeans, and cute little suede booties. She’s already pointed out that we’re double the trouble, double the fun.

“How could you sleep with Dalton?” I ask and watch with a smidge of delight as she chokes and gags on her very next sip.

Her eyes widen. “Just cut to the bone, why don’t you.”

“That’s the only way to do things with you, and we both know it.” True as gospel.

“Calm down, Grandma Bizzy. It was no big deal.” Macy makes a face as she stirs the drink in her hand with a cinnamon stick.

“Excuse me? Staying the night is a very big deal. He’s going to think you’re easy.”

“I am easy.” She inches back. “Have you met me?”

“Unfortunately.”

“And before you go spreading rumors to Mom, it wasn’t Dalton. And he didn’t spend the night. It was Jamison, and I slapped him silly until he limped out of my place around three a.m.”

My mouth falls open. “So you chose the attorney? And what is it with you and Mom at three a.m.? It’s like the witching hour with the two of you.”

“That’s for me to know and you to find out. And when are you and Jasper going to lock yourselves in a room until three in the morning? You’re falling woefully behind. Time’s a tickin’.”

My cheeks burn with heat at the thought.

“I don’t know.” I scowl out at the burgeoning crowd. “I told him to talk it out with his ex before we took things further. We’re not even in a real commitment yet.
