Chapter Six

Brikelle was an interesting mix of excited and nervous for their shopping trip Monday night. She had no clue what clothing or styles would impress a bunch of wealthy people, and she felt really awkward about Colt buying them for her. It was obvious he wasn’t hurting for money, but still it didn’t feel right for her to be a charity case for him. Her dad wouldn’t like it. No matter how tight things had gotten on the farm, her family had never taken a handout. She could remember winters surviving on milk, meat, cheese, homemade wheat bread, and what they could process from their garden, but survive they did.

Her phone rang as she was driving back from Emma’s house to her apartment to get ready to go tonight. If she wore the same pencil skirt with a different top, would that just scream to him that he definitely needed to buy her clothes? He might think she would wear this same outfit to Emma’s party this weekend and really embarrass herself. The skirt was a great one that she’d found on the clearance rack at Macy’s. It fit her well and it was Anne Klein. Wasn’t that a nice brand?

She fumbled for her phone as it rang again and hurried to swipe it to accept the call. “Hello?”

“Girl! Where have you disappeared to? I go away for my graduation trip and you just up and leave the valley without my permission.”

“Caimbre. How was Europe?” She’d missed her friend these past few weeks.

“Oh, friend. I can’t even describe how fabulous it was. The castles, the scenery, the food, the men.” She sighed dramatically. Everything with Caimbre was dramatic, but Brikelle absolutely loved her. They’d roomed together their freshman year because neither of them started school with someone they knew, and they’d been inseparable their entire college experience. Except for summers, when Brikelle would go home to work on the farm and save up money, and Caimbre would travel the world with her ultra-wealthy parents. Brikelle mostly ignored the unfairness of life, because Caimbre was such a great friend and didn’t rub it in too much.

“Where are you?” Caimbre demanded. “Did you go home? I thought you were working for that design company that you were so excited about.”

“I am. There was a lot of work up Ogden Canyon in Eden and Huntsville, so I got an apartment up here to work for the summer, maybe longer.” She looked around at the picturesque valley. It wasn’t Europe, but the lush greenery and scenic lake made her feel like she was on a vacation and she was really enjoying her summer, especially a certain cabinet maker’s company.

“Good for you! Any hot men?”

“Um, yum—I mean, yes.”

“Yum? Oh, this I have to hear about.”

“Yeah, he’s definitely yum. Colt is doing the cabinets for the house I’m decorating. That man is the epitome of hot construction worker.”

Caimbre giggled.

“He owns the business and he’s pretty amazing.”

“You like this Colt, I take it?”

“I like him a lot.
