anywhere but at home. Until Maddox storms in with his multi-colored hair and
carefree attitude.
Long distance relationships don’t work and Seth isn’t into gambling with
his future. But the more time he spends with Maddox, the more he’s willing to

including a lifetime of happiness in his hometown.

EXCERPT
“Seth, this is Maddox. Maddox, Seth.” My dad gestured between us, as if
we couldn’t figure out who was who.
I nodded. I suppose the thing to say would be “nice to meet you” or
something along those lines. But I wasn’t very suave. And I was still unsettled
about the fact that he caught me being a creeper.
He smiled.
Fuck.
Perfect white teeth practically blinded me. Was there anything about him
that wasn’t designed to make me weak in the knees? I had a thing for teeth.
Yeah, I know it sounds weird.
After a moment of awkward staring, I turned away and gestured to the
pile of new shelving that still remained in boxes.
“We better get started. I’ve already begun thinking about what our best
course of action is. I think if we work from the back of the store forward,
left to right, we’ll be able to get done quickly. I’ve managed to find the
instructions— What are you doing?”
Maddox bent over the box, knife in hand, and started slicing it open. He
cut a line through the cardboard, not even bothering to open it via the top of
the box, where it was taped shut. That would have been the most logical thing
to do. “Getting the pieces out.”
I looked to my dad for help, but he had walked away.
“But we haven’t laid out a plan. We don’t know where we are starting. I
am not even sure if we have enough room back here to build. We aren’t ready to
start opening up boxes and taking out pieces. I haven’t read the instruction
manual yet. We don’t have a plan.”
Maddox shrugged one shoulder. “We’re building new shelving to replace
the old. That’s the plan.”
I cringed. This is why teams never worked out for me. “That’s the
objective. Our plan will give us a step-by-step process so we get it done
quickly and efficiently.”
A half smile from Maddox had my heart doing jumping jacks. For fuck’s
sake. Of all the times to get a crush, it had to be now? Apparently my dick
didn’t get the memo that we didn’t like this guy.
I continued, “Research has shown that building projects get completed
quicker if you follow the instruction manual.”
“Dude, it ain’t that serious. We’re building shelves, not launching a
spaceship. Your dad said we could do this however we want, and I say we just
jump in and get it done.” Despite his playful tone, I couldn’t get past the
flawed logic in his plan.
No. That wouldn’t work for me. “We should put together a plan, a task
list, find out who would be best suited to do which tasks. We need to make a
plan.” I talked in circles. Repeating myself and I knew it. He wasn’t going to
listen. I put a hand on my hip and stared at him. Hard.
It wasn’t working.
Maddox laughed. He laughed at me. Great.
