Fall Too Well (Cozy Creek Collection)

Chapter 7

Everly

“ I need you to do speed dating with me,” Hayley announces as she plops down next to me. She hands me a brown-handled bag with pumpkins and leaves printed on it, and I smile because I know she’s brought me yummy bread. But then I side-eye her at her random dating statement as I hand her a pumpkin spice latte, which neither of us can seem to get enough of this time of year.

“I do not need to speed date or whatever you call it, but thanks for the bread.” I grin as I pull my cardigan tight around me in the brisk fall mountain air as I get comfy on our favorite bench outside of the library, crossing my legs. It is gorgeous outside today but a little chilly. “I so need this weather.” I look down the street at all the pumpkins on display, bright colored orange, purple, and yellow mums, and light posts decorated for fall with cornstalks and leaves sprinkling the sidewalks. It’s perfect here , I think as I take a sip of my coffee. Mmm.
