As Intentions Shift

New to the area Grayson Carter rolls into a small town looking for a job at the local bar, where he meets Jude Williams: the owner's handsome older brother who seems to hate the air Grayson breathes. Both of them have their secrets, but can they let down their walls enough to let each other in? -- "My turn. I like the way your sister talks about you. You’re like a hero to her, that kind of bond is really incredible." Jude flips his hand, catching Grayson’s fingertips on his palm with his thumb. He rubs his thumb up Grayson’s middle finger contemplatively. "You always smell like hazelnut coffee." His voice is soft. Grayson lowers his voice to almost a whisper. "It’s a pretty common combination, it’s not that special." "It is when you do it." -- As Intentions Shift is created by Emily Smith, an EGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 29: Louanne

Jude didn't mention what he had told Grayson when he woke up. He’d considered it but ultimately decided that if Jude wanted to say it again, he would. Not to mention, it gave Grayson more time to think about how he would respond if Jude did ever say it again. They didn't talk much, just quietly enjoyed being with each other.

Grayson was in a much better mood when he came into work next. He and Amelia high-fived at the successful execution of their plan.

Jude looked much more lively as well, even though his workload was unchanged. Maybe just the thought that his loved ones would go to such lengths to give him one day off was enough to get him out of his funk.

Grayson couldn't say for sure, but he couldn't help but smile every time that he counted himself as one of those loved ones.

It was a crowded day at the bar; with the upcoming festivities, everyone was eager to celebrate early. And what says a celebration is more than day-drinking?
