“Oh, no.” She shook her head. “Not like this, anyway. We’ve had one or two a year, but only for the past couple of years has it ramped up. It’s kinda nice.”
Nice wasn’t the word he would’ve used. Saying there was a festival for everything wasn’t an exaggeration. Just in the past year, he’d been suckered into attending a Valentine’s festival, Founder’s Day festival, Easter, Memorial Day, the Kick Off to Summer festival, July Fourth, Back to School, some kind of Ode to Pets festival, and now the town’s long-running annual fall festival.
How exactly did anyone get anything done around this place when they spent so much damn time decorating and organizing events?
“I think it’s her way of revitalizin’ the town,” Bristol continued. “Mayor Stewart is all about bringin’ the residents together.”
Kaden found himself mesmerized by Bristol’s glossy pink lips and the twinkle in her eyes. He wanted to kiss those lips again, to slide his tongue along the seam and dip inside, hear her reaction. It had been too damn long since he’d gotten a taste of her.
“Does that mean you’ll be attendin’?” he asked, breaking the hold she had over him and forcing his eyes to meet hers.
Bristol grinned. “Of course. Mayor Stewart roped me into it.”
“I find it amusin’ you refer to her as Mayor Stewart considerin’ Bianca’s your best friend.”
Bristol laughed. “One of them, yes. But I do it because it irritates her.”
That made him smile. He liked her sassiness. Kaden only wished she’d turn all that attitude on him sometime.
“Well?” she asked, still staring at him.
Kaden frowned. “Well, what?”
“Can I add you to the list of people attendin’?”
“Depends.”
“On?”
Kaden held her stare and offered his best smile. “What’s in it for me?”
