I left the cottage to take a tour. I’ll be back within the hour, so you need to meet me there with the key.
No…You need to wait until I FEEL like coming back since you broke the only rule I have you to follow.
Annoyed,I set my phone on silent as Savannah and my other cousins arrive for the game.
As if she can read my mind, she hands me a bottle of wine and motions for me to drink it alone.
Somewhere between several boxes of cheap playing cards and a design Coach bag, Dominic walks into the room.
His eyes immediately find mine, and I jump off the couch.
“Oh, hey!” I rush over to him, then I lower my voice. “What the hell are you doing here?”
“I came here for the key.”
“You don’t get to hold onto it,” I say. “It’s mine until you leave.”
“I’m not your goddamn prisoner, Georgia.” He glares at me. “Give me the key.Now.”
“Hey there, Dominic!” Savannah calls out. “Would you like to join us for a few rounds of Dirty Santa?”
“I can’t,” “He can’t,” we say in unison.
“You can at least play one round then,” she says. “We’ll make it super quick.”
“This is afamilygame.” I shake my head. “Dominic is not a part of it.”
“Um…” She tilts her head to the side. “Isn’t he about to be, though?”
“No,” we speak in unison again.
“I mean, you never can be too sure about relationships these days, you know?”
I try to laugh it off, but Dominic doesn’t join me.
“Anyway, he got lost,” I say,”so I guess I need to show him back to our cottage.”
“Wait, Georgia!” Taryn stands up. “Aren’t you forgetting something?”
“How to tell the truth, sadly.”
“You’re under the mistletoe.” She points up at the white and green bough above us.
“So?” I scoff. “I’ll be back in a few. Can you hold off on that polka dot gift?”
“After you kiss your fiancé, sure.” Savannah leans forward in anticipation. “You made me and Garrett do it when we checked in. No big deal.”
“I did that because you two areactuallyengaged.”
“Just like you and Dominic, right?”
“I meant to say that he’s not that good of a kisser.” I try to save myself. “I don’t enjoy kissing him and he doesn’t enjoy kissing me.”
“He’s also impotent!” Taryn slurs loudly. “They have an asexual relationship because he can’t get it up, so she doesn’t like to tease him with any type of sexual behavior. Not even kissing because it gives him ‘The Sads.’”
“I’m fuckingwhat?” Dominic looks at me like I’ve lost my mind.
“It’s okay, Dominic.” Taryn presses a hand against her heart. “This is a judgment-free zone. No one here cares about the condition of your penis as long as you make Georgia happy.”
