Merry, bright, and ready to go all night...

Merry Lights

With a name like mine everyone assumes Christmas is my favorite time of year. 

Truth is, being the owner of Blizzard Bluff's most popular bakery, this is my busy season and if it doesn't go well, I won't have anything to live off of for the remaining eleven months of the year. I'm closest to my coworkers, since I spend the most time with them. 

But there's one I can't get out of my head; Beckett. A construction worker by trade, he's using his winter break to save money for a new home. 

When a blizzard surprises the town, and I'm stuck at the shop with the hottest baker I've ever worked with. Over the course of twenty-four hours, he teaches me things about my body I never knew. As the plows go through to clear the streets, I hope it doesn't end.

The Blizzard Bluff Series

The expected blizzard hasn't hit yet, just like all the ones they've predicted previously. It's one of the things that irritates most of the locals. The weather people always make a big deal over what could happen, and then there's no bread, milk, or eggs in the grocery. The kids and parents get excited, then nothing happens. It's always been that way.  


I'm still working on the taxes and waiting for Santa to make his appearance tonight. Cal walks in, and I can't help but notice the snow all over his body. He's stamping his feet against the floor.  


"Yeah." He laughs. "Started about an hour ago, and it's coming down. I can't believe you didn't notice it." 


"I've been working on taxes and last time I looked up, nothing had happened. I’d assumed it was something we were warned about that didn't happen. Guess I was wrong." I laugh.
