EXCERPT
Why had she thought she could do this?
For once in your life, use a little common sense, Annalise, her mother’s voice echoed in her mind. This is foolishness. What do you know about running a business, let alone a Christmas tree farm?
Coming here had been a mistake. After all, reading about something wasn’t the same as doing it. She’d obviously underestimated the amount of work involved.
Tears pricked her eyes before spilling onto her cheeks.
“There you are.” Hawkins’ raised voice startled her.
She quickly swiped at her tears as he stepped in front of her.
“I wondered where you—” His gaze bore into her, his expression softening. “What’s wrong?”
“I can’t do this.”
He cupped her elbows in his palms, his warmth seeping into her. Confusion marred his handsome face. “Do what?”
“I’m not capable of running a Christmas tree farm.”
“What?” He took a step back. “Why would you think that?”
“Oh, come on.” She shivered. “I didn’t even look to see if there was gas in the mower.”
Hands now on his hips, he shook his head. “Have you forgotten about our collaboration? Our agreement?”
“It doesn’t matter.” They hadn’t signed a formal agreement yet, anyway. “Even my two-thirds of the trees are still too much.”
He dipped his head, urging her to look at him. “You do realize we’re playing catch-up right now? But we will catch up. Once we do that, the maintenance won’t be nearly as overwhelming.”
“There were six of us working today, and we barely made a dent.” To her chagrin, tears fell again, and she turned away.
After a moment, he moved in front of her. “Between Gary’s journals and preparation and your ideas to make this a real destination for families, I have no doubt that you can do this, Annalise. You’ve got my entire family excited about this endeavor. Including me.”
His words washed over her like a healing balm, soothing her disbelieving heart. No one had ever spoken such encouraging words to her before.
