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 39: The Call

If someone were to ask Grayson Carter what his favorite memory was he would obfuscate, unable to give a clear answer. Obviously, there were things he enjoyed in his daily life, things that made him happy.

He loved the ocean, had good memories walking down the coast with only his thoughts. He enjoyed the sound of his car roaring back to life after a cold night, always reliable when he needed it. There was so much in the life he had created that was well suited for him. That was why he lived this way, after all.

However, recently, his life had been flipped on its head. Some days he woke up terrified of the next wave that would come crashing down all around him. The rest of the days, though, he woke up with dozens of memories playing behind his eyelids, each more dazzling than the one before it.

The truth was, he didn't have an answer. He didn't know how to formulate one when every moment he spent with Jude made him feel more alive than the moment before.
