The Apple Festival of Rosewood Pines was one of the biggest events of the year, rivaled only by the Christmas Tree Lighting and 4th of July celebrations. Vendors lined the park with rows of stands selling everything from apple pies to apple butter to apple cider and everything in between.
From my stand, I watched children darting through the crowds with candy apples, their faces smeared with sticky red syrup, while couples strolled arm in arm.
Despite the cheerful atmosphere, uneasiness clenched my stomach. Since Troy jerked me off yesterday, I hadnât seen him again. He was avoiding me, going so far as to skip dinner Gladys had invited me to last night. How was I supposed to find him in this crowd? Would he even show up? He seemed so impatient to get out of this town.
âNo apple pie?â A young man stopped at my table, his wide brown eyes focused more on me than the pretzels. His face was pierced in interesting places: lips, eyebrows, cheeks, and nostrils. âI was told if I wanted the best apple pie to find your stall.â
âUnfortunately, no apple pie this year. Thought Iâd try something new, so I made apple cinnamon soft pretzels.â
âYum.â He licked his lips, but his gaze shifted up and down my body instead of the pretzels. âI think Iâll try one.â
âLet me know how you like it.â
âIâm sure Iâll like it a lot.â
He paid for the pretzel and bit into it, then widened his eyes dramatically. âMarry me.â
I laughed, his exaggeration pulling me out of my funk. âBut I donât even know your name.â
âIâm Connor. My grandmotherâs Louisa.â
Ah, that Connor.
âWell, nice to meet you, Connor.â
âIt is? Then maybe Iâll ask you out for a drink later. If I did, would you say yes?â
A man appeared next to Connor. Troy looked from Connor to me, a scowl etched on his face
Interesting.
âMaybe now is not the right time for this conversation.â Connor laughed, then paid me for two more pretzels. âIâll catch you later. Think about it.â
He walked away, hips swinging.
âDidnât know you were selling other things besides pretzels,â Troy said.
âFor the right person, I can.â
His scowl deepened. âItâll never work.â
âWhat wonât?â
âYou and that guy.â
He fell silent when two kids ran up to the stall wanting some pretzels. They were a little short on money, but I gave them anyway.
âWhyâs that?â I asked when they left.
âYouâre not compatible. Youâre both bottoms.â
I raised my eyebrows, stifling back my laugh. âOh, he is? Did you ask him?â
âItâs obvious.â
âYou should know better than to stereotype. Didnât you also assume I topped?â
Heâd been so worried that the first time we were to do it, heâd find himself at the bottom.
âYeah, well, Iâm not wrong about him.â
âYou want pretzels?â I asked. âI can make you a fresh batch later.â
âIâve had one too many. Gladys asked me to get some for her before they sell out.â
âI saved a batch for her at home. I know she has a sweet tooth.â
âOh, Iâll let her know.â
He turned, but before he could walk off, I grabbed his wrist.
