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 25: Her

Late autumn was changing Harsen. The air was crisp, and the leaves were falling in droves. There's a hum of excitement in the air that surprised Grayson. The closer it got to winter, the more lethargic he got, so he couldn't quite put a finger on why people were in such bright spirits.

That is until he walks into the bar to see Jude and Amelia hanging a large banner outside the bar that reads, "Proud Vendor of Harsen's Fall Festival."

Grayson whistles as the two struggle to get the banner at the same height. "Fall Festival, huh?"

Amelia turns. "Carter, swap me places. The giant here isn't keeping his side even."

"I'm telling you, my side is not the problem here."

"You're moving it up, and we both know it!"

Grayson grabs the end of the banner.

"Anyone going to answer? What's up with the festival stuff?"

Amelia steps back. "A little further up, Carter. What's there to say? It's a festival in the fall."

They pin the banner in place.

"Is it a big thing?"
