Sometimes the holidays are messy
Christmas is the season of joy, mistletoe, and, unfortunately for Ryanne, the pressure of bringing home a date. When she vents to Elliott, her best friend and co-manager at the small-town office supply store, he impulsively grabs her phone and texts her mother that theyre dating.
Date. Ing.
Ryanne:
Im utterly speechless.
Elliott Hutson, the man who knows all my secrets, the one whos never been serious with anyone, and the picture of Male Perfection that makes my pulse leap and frog, has now dived headfirst into my family drama. And as much as I pretend to be annoyed, I cant deny the flutter in my heart.
Ive never had a fake boyfriend before—getting a real one is hard enough—but Elliott makes everything look so easy. And Im absolutely positive the twinkling lights and Justin Bieber Christmas tunes are influencing the way he keeps dropping his gaze to my mouth.
