A Boulder Creek Christmas (2015)
“At the top of the drive, blocking the single-car garage, sat a black, mud-splattered pick-up truck that looked familiar.
Too familiar.
Alani pressed the Honda’s brake, threw the car into PARK, and opened the driver’s-side door with a single breath. She stomped over snow-laden gravel and turned the corner toward the staccato burst at the rear of the house.
“Ryan, what are you doing here?”
“What does it look like I’m doing?” Sawdust danced in a halo around his head as he glanced up from the redwo...od deck without missing a stroke of the hammer. Expertly, he jostled a new panel of wood into place as he flashed a mischievous grin. “I’ll give you two guesses and the first one doesn’t count.”
“I only need one.” Alani crossed her arms and sighed with dismay as she watched sweet-natured Moe, the chocolate lab she and Grandma Cora had rescued from the animal shelter nearly a decade ago, lope over to Ryan and curl contentedly at his side. So much for loyalty…the mangy beast must have forgotten that Ryan had dumped him, along with Lani when the going got tough.MoreLess
