Sierra forced a smile, grabbed Jenn’s hand, and headed toward
the door. “I’m starving. I think a big breakfast is in order. We’ll work it all
off shopping.”
“Now you’re talking.” Jenn grinned as she grabbed her wallet
and room key, and then the two of them stepped into the hall.
They both stopped at the sight of a man wearing a top hat
and black tuxedo jacket with tails carrying a potted Christmas tree as he stepped
off the elevator. He held a large gold gift bag decorated with white snowflakes
in his other hand. When he looked at them, Sierra sucked in a gasp of surprise.
The handsome guy looked exactly like the cowboy she’d met last night.
“Sierra?” he asked, his smile broadening as he walked over
to them. “And Jenn. Hey! Fancy meeting you girls here.”
Jenn remained mute as she looked from Ky to Sierra, as though
she struggled to make sense of their acquaintance.
Sierra wondered how Ky knew her friend’s name but couldn’t
keep from grinning at him. “Good morning, Ky. What are you doing dressed like
that, carrying a Christmas tree?”
“It’s a service I provide mostly during the holidays, but it
extends through this weekend. I grow Christmas trees. Some hotel guests like to
have a Christmas tree in their room, so I deliver them for a fee. They can
choose between a live one in a custom-crafted wine barrel planter or a fresh-cut
tree in one of my specialty stands. I provide lights and ornaments. They have
options of elegant, whimsical, or traditional decorations.”
“That’s really neat,” Sierra said, thinking Kylan Snow
looked even better in the broad light of day than he had last night. The tails
and top hat sure didn’t hurt any either. He really was a handsome man, one with
a warm smile and gray eyes that twinkled with mirth and life. “Might I assume
you are making a delivery that veers on the elegant side?”
“Yep. For a traditional tree, I dress like a lumberjack,
complete with a red and black buffalo plaid shirt. Whimsical, I put on elf shoes
and a hat with pointy ears.”
“No way. That’s the one I’d choose just to see you wear
that, Ky,” Jenn said, acting as though she and Ky were old friends.
How was that possible when they’d only arrived in town last
night?
