Оглавление“Trouble sleeping?” Alec’s voice was a low rumble as he sauntered up beside her.
“Oh.” Zoey turned, her heart thumping hard in her chest. “You startled me.”
“You’re not accustomed to having someone around.”
“I guess I’m not.” She dropped her gaze to the snow collecting on the fence post. Alec had a way of looking at her that made her feel exposed, and standing beside him in the darkness only exacerbated that sensation.
“Sorry,” he murmured.
“Don’t be.” She cleared her throat and forced herself to look him in the eyes. Why was she suddenly so flustered? “I just got distracted.”
He nodded toward the reindeer. “I can’t blame you. They make a pretty picture at night.”
“Gorgeous.” She glanced again at the snowy scene. It was as if she and Alec had stepped straight into a Christmas movie. Visions of mistletoe danced in Zoey’s head and she suddenly felt flushed, despite the cold.
“You okay?” Alec gave her a sideways glance.
“Sure. Why wouldn’t I be?” Zoey shrugged, feigning nonchalance.
Mistletoe? Clearly, the reindeer weren’t the only distraction on this ranch.
