It was relaxing to be on her gentle horse, Malia, be with her family, and forget about all the stress of school. She got a few texts from Ty. He’d gotten to his friend’s house safely and was enjoying the family. It was crazy that she could miss him so much when they really hadn’t known each other for long. After working all day Friday, she was half-frozen and just wanted to soak in the tub and drink hot cocoa, but her brothers talked her into going to town for the caroling/sing along. She showered and bundled up, thinking it was odd they would be so excited about a sing along, until she noticed Luke and Porter eyeing a couple of beautiful girls in the choir. As soon as the singing was done, Luke disappeared with a hurried, “I’ll be right back.” Porter turned to her. “Do you want to do some shopping?” “With you or by myself?” He shifted uncomfortably and cast a longing gaze at the back of one of the girls. “Are those two friends or sisters?” Kazlyn asked. He grinned.
