Ella: An Everland Ever After Tale
“How’ve you been?” Max DeVille slapped his back hard enough to spill Ian’s lemonade, but it didn’t matter. Ian just moved his foot away from the lemony puddle in the dirt and smiled, still a little amazed by the warm welcome the people of Everland had given him.
“Can’t complain, Max. How about you?”
His new friend’s usually energetic smile slipped just a bit when he shrugged, but Ian didn’t think anyone else noticed. “Oh, you know how it is. Can find plenty to complain about, but it’s to...o nice a day, so why bother?”
The two men shared a grin, and Max slipped into the open seat beside him. Ian had been chatting with three other men, but Gaston, Ox, and Hank welcomed Max enthusiastically. It was easy to welcome Max; the dark man had an open and affectionate personality that made everyone around him feel valued. Ian had felt himself falling under the other man’s spell, but couldn’t help it; it was hard not to smile and laugh around Max.MoreLess
