Evan exhaled. It was hard to focus when he looked this good in a suit .
“The entire first floor is flooded. Pipes burst overnight when the temperature dropped below freezing .”
“I’m sorry. But I still don’t get what the crisis is. I mean other than it’s a big building .”
Evan pointed to the announcement board over her head, stapled with town flyers and advertisements. There was a large one in the middle that read Snow Ball .
“Ohh.”
He nodded. “Yeah. Ohh. We’re going to have to cancel the ball .”
She jumped from the bench. “You can’t cancel it. We’ve always had the Snow Ball .”
“Ordinances won’t allow us to use the school gym. There’s nowhere else big enough to accommodate that size crowd. And I just talked to Bart. It’s supposed to snow tomorrow night. We can’t hold it outside .”
She didn’t know who in the hell Bart was, but that didn’t matter .
“I know somewhere .”
Georgia stopped sniffling and looked up. “Honey, there’s no place in town .”
Cami smiled. “Yes, there is. I can host it .”
“What?” Evan looked stunned .
“The entire side of the shop is vacant. That space is huge and you know they used to have the Snow Ball there years ago, back when it started .”
Georgia nodded. “That’s right. I went to my first Snow Ball in that building .”
“See? It’s perfect .”
Evan scowled. That was never a good sign. “Cami, you don’t know what you’re signing up for .”
“I’ve already cleaned it out. It’s spotless. I’m sure there’s a decorating committee or something that can bring the decorations over. Samantha and Jamie will help me. We can pull this off. We’ll have the Snow Ball at the shop and you don’t have to cancel anything .”
He looked between the two women. “Are you absolutely sure ?”
She nodded. “I am. I want to do this for Harpers Point .”
Georgia scrunched her lips together. “And I was thinking it would be a nice touch if you’d sing, honey. Everyone would love it .”
“No.” Evan’s voice was curt. Cami was sure he was being protective, but the iciness shocked her .
“Sure, I could sing something .”
“Cami, that’s going overboard,” he argued. “Hosting the ball and performing ?”
“Just a few songs. I won’t do a full set or anything .”
Georgia clapped her hands together. “This is going to be lovely. Wait until I tell Claudine .”
Cami smiled. “I’m glad I came in when I did .”
“And why are you here?” Evan asked .
“Can we step in your office ?”
Georgia looked like she had recovered from her panic. Evan pulled Cami into his office .
