“No, I know the difference between the two.”
“Yeah, you’re dating one and harassing the other.”
His laugh sends my heart racing again. “Whatever you’ve been reading about me, please stop.”
“Tell her I’ll stop calling your line whenever you make it official.”
“I’m not entertaining that conversation,” he says. “If I sent a jet for you tonight, would you get on it?”
I hang up before I can even consider the idea.

PARK CITY, UTAH

When will the decorations at headquarters finally be complete?
Mindy
Today, sir.
You said that yesterday.
Mindy
Yes, well, as your “ride or die” (remember?) I can assure you that today is really the da.y
The team you hired is excited to show you the final result this morning.
After Georgia wowed everyone with her headquarters decor last year, I couldn’t risk not having the same experience this season.
I enter the main building and notice a single white tree in the lobby.
It’s a fifteen-foot-tall white spruce with glittering gold “Reiss” ornaments that apparently cost one hundred dollars each.
Before I can ask where the rest of the shit is, a man in a tuxedo appears and hands me a snowman lollipop.
“There you are, sir,” he says. “Thank you for hiring Prescott and Lane to bring in the holidays with your company this year.”
“Thank you for agreeing to it.”
He leads me down the treeless hallways. The only signs of the holidays are the sparse and sparkling snowflakes hanging from the ceiling.
“Okay, in one, two…” He pushes the doors open. “Three!
“What do you think, sir?”
“I think I’m in the wrong room.” I blink a few times. “At least, I better be in the wrong room.”
“What do you mean?”
“I can’t see what you charged me half a million dollars for.” I notice that half the room is empty. “Where is Santa’s secret shop? The elves making hot cocoa?”
The team exchanges confused glances.
“This looks like a group of high schoolers did it.”
