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 31: Fall Festival

Grayson finds himself staring at the passing trees. The change in seasons was an inevitability; the leaves grow, change color, and fall. It was a part of life. Nothing could stay the same forever.

Jude pulls Grayson out of thought. "Are you ready? You’ve been quiet the whole drive up."

Grayson looks up, and sure enough, Jude is shifting the car in park in the field he had driven to just the day before, with the Fall Festival fully in swing.

Grayson smiles, dismissing the worry in Jude’s eyes. "Yeah. I can't believe it's ready. I hope you know I have very high expectations."

Jude gives him a smug look. "Oh, of course. I think you'll be impressed. Especially since you don't have any prior experiences to compare it to."

"Fair enough. What first, Fall Festival expert?"

Jude thinks for a moment, and they exit the car. "Well, it's a bit cold. I think we should hit the cider booth first."

"A lot of firsts for me today," Grayson muses.
