I don’t dare give Holly the proper rundown on what happened between Sabrina and me. There’s no way I’ll ruin her Christmas by letting her in on the fact her livelihood is in peril. Sure, Tom makes great money as an optometrist, but face it—Gingerbread isn’t all that big, and he’s fixed just about every eyeball within our city limits. If they want to add to their brood, and put Savanah and Baby X through college, they’ll need a thriving second income. And when she finds out that my little matchmaking scheme has backfired on me spectacularly, I might just let her say I told you so—just this once. It’s the least I could do after she realizes she’ll be losing her home. I’ll lose my home, too, and we’ll both end up back with our parents in our old bedrooms. Only she’ll be sharing a twin with Tom and Savanah, and I’ll be in mine with Noel. In theory, my scenario seems far rosier, but in truth, Noel kicks like a mule in her sleep. I’m liable to end up with a broken nose and six cracked ribs. I’m pretty sure Sabrina will find some creative, yet equally destructive, way to make Graham’s life miserable, too. Like flying to New York on her broomstick and tossing a Molotov cocktail through his penthouse window. My God, she’s going to reduce his entire building to cinders, altering the lives of thousands of people, all because I had the urge to teach Graham Holiday a lesson.

I guess the only one learning a lesson around here is me.

My little foray into revenge just might cost me everything.

I try my best to shake Sabrina and her volatile threats out of my mind as I get back to loading the van, but the effort proves impossible. I tell both Jenna and Holly that I’ll do the run myself. As much as I’m looking forward to spending time with Graham this afternoon, I’m deathly afraid of what will happen once Sabrina discovers my little ruse.

By the time I finish getting the very last platter of sugar cookies into the Boys and Girls Club, I find both Graham and Noel seated on the rear bumper of the van when I get back.

“Hey, hot stuff.” An ear-to-ear grin springs to my face as I say it. “Can I get a picture with you?”

Graham’s lids hang low as if he were suddenly trying to seduce me, and, dear God, it takes far less than that to do it. “Would you like it with my clothes on or off?”

“Gah!” I swat him with my purse as if he were a mugger. “I was talking to Noel. But since you’re here, I don’t see why the three of us don’t take a few selfies by the lake. I hear you can see clear across to Cater. And if I remember correctly, if we stand on the highest peak of the bridge, you can see the smokestack from a certain pie factory that’s about to explode onto the culinary scene as the latest greatest sensation.
