Camden took another swing with his driver. The ball went farther than it had the last time, but still far from a respectable distance. Truth be told, he didn’t care much for golf and especially not driving ranges, but it was Brad’s turn to choose since they’d gone trail riding last time.

He hoped Brad was too wrapped up in his practice to notice, but no such luck.

“And here as a defender, I assumed you were good at judging distances.”

Brad, of course, was just ribbing him, but it was true. Though there was a huge difference between soccer and golf balls, his foot and a driver, and sixty yards versus two hundred, it all came back to practice—and desire. Cam honestly didn’t care about golf; he was just enjoying the relatively nice weather. He certainly wouldn’t have been at a driving range or on a mountain bike trail in December in Cobble Creek.

It was no use. No matter how hard he tried, Camden couldn’t get Talia out of his mind. He’d gone home after dropping her off last night, and before he’d even gotten out of his car, he was on his phone’s web browser searching Talia Thomas and Seattle. Several hits had come up, including the news clips he remembered from that day.

The fact that he didn’t bother to watch them again said a lot. She was the same reporter, but she wasn’t, and he wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize their budding relationship. With the arrangements they’d made, they were kind of stuck for another eight days. If she didn’t bring up Seattle, he wouldn’t either. He couldn’t afford to make things awkward.

“Where did you grow up, Brad?” Cam might already have known, but he’d forgotten.

“West Coast. SoCal.”

“Then you’re used to the whole ‘winter holidays without the white stuff.’”

Brad rolled his shoulders and relaxed into his grip. “Yeah, having snow for Christmas would be weird. Texas gets a little cold for me sometimes, though. Why?”

Cam lined up another shot but answered before he swung. “Talia took me to that huge Christmas festival on the square or something like that—thousands of people, Santas on horseback, live country music, the whole thing. She’s trying to convince me that Christmas in Texas with a bajillion people is still Christmas, but I had to laugh when they made it snow every fifteen minutes.” He paused, concentrating on the ball but shanking pretty hard to the left.

Brad laughed. “And why is she trying to convince you of this?”

It was silly, and Cam wasn’t exactly sure, to be honest. He shrugged. “I might have said something dumb that night I was volunteering, and she just can’t let it go. It’s like if I don’t buy into this opinion, I’m dissing Texas—and her personally—by pointing out where it’s lacking. You know these Texans. Everything’s better in Texas . . .” Cam got the same read from Californians as well, so maybe Brad wouldn’t see it the same way he did.

“Oh, yeah, don’t insult the girl’s state—not if you like her.
