“Holly…”
“Look, Lucas, we need a party. You need involvement. We’ve got the decorations, a lead on the tree, someone to hang all the exterior lights, a caterer…everyone we need. And I am more than willing to act as the party hostess!”
He looked ready to argue but seemed to reconsider.
“I know it would just be easier for you to put the kibosh on the whole thing, but I truly feel like this is important. I’m more than willing to do most of the work! Just…please consider it, Lucas. Please.”
She walked over to where Shmoop was wandering around in the fenced doggie area. Behind her, she heard Lucas go inside. For the last few days, she genuinely believed she was going to pull this off and not only save the Christmas party, but possibly save the Brooks family as well.
And maybe a teeny tiny part of her believed that Lucas was going to fall in love with her.
Okay, probably more than a teeny tiny part of her.
In her mind, the party was going to be an amazing success, everyone was going to be wowed, his parents were going to reunite, and then he would kiss her under the mistletoe and tell her that he was madly in love with her.
“Ugh, clearly I watch too many Hallmark Christmas movies,” she murmured before unlatching the gate and letting Shmoop out. “Come on, boy. It’s time to go home.”
Inside the house, she didn’t see Lucas anywhere and fought off a wave of disappointment. She was halfway to the stairs when she heard, “Oh, good! You came back in!”
Turning, she saw Lucas standing in a doorway in the far corner of the family room area. She looked at him quizzically, but before she could ask any questions, he was already speaking.
“I found more decorations! Come check them out!” Then he disappeared back through the doorway, missing the look of pure joy—and relief—on her face.
