A Very Grumpy Halloween by Shaw Hart

It’s just a fling… right?

Maple:
I need a break.
I’ve spent this last year working hard to get my business off the ground and to settle into my new apartment and town.
All work and no play though has made me a dull girl.
Now I’m looking to change that and I know just how to do it.
With Ryder Murray.

Ryder
When Maple Baker propositions me, I know that this is my chance.
I’ve had my eye on the bubbly redhead since she first moved to town, but she’s never given me a second look.
Now, though, she is and I’m not about to let her look away.
She thinks that we’re a fling, just friends with benefits.
I’m about to show her that we’re forever.
