Page 91 of All I Want For Christmas

Because she looked just as good in tennis shoes as she did in high heels.

He reached for his phone, even knowing that texting her was a terrible idea.

But it rang before he could finish dialing her number.

Thank God.

It was Zander.

“Hey,” Theo answered.

“Before you get mad at me, I want to go on record as saying I had nothing to do with this.”

“That has got to be one of the worst ways to start a conversation.”

“Say you understand I’m not the one you’re going to be mad at,” Zander said.

Theo pinched the bridge of his nose. Oh, this was going to be a pain in the ass. “I understand.”

He braced himself for whatever Zander was about to say.

“You need to go over to Savannah 's cabin.”

Shit, shit, shit. “Why?”

“Because there may be a situation.”

Theo sat up straighter on the couch where he'd been lounging, tricking himself into thinking that he was watching the baseball game on television.

“Did she call someone?” And if she had. Why? He was right here.

Because she doesn't want you to know that she has a situation.

Dammit.

But she had to know he'd find out.

“No, she hasn't called anybody,” Zander said. “Yet.”

“What is going on?” So something was happening that she wouldpotentiallybe calling someone for?

“Okay, it's going to sound like they were trying to drive her out of the cabin, which…okay, they were. But not for the reason you’re going to think.”

Theo shifted so that his feet were on the floor, and he could lean his elbows on his knees. He dropped his head into one of his hands. He wasn’t going to like this. “Who did what?”

“Zeke, Owen, and Cian —”

That was all Zander had to say. Theo was already on his feet. But he did want to know exactly what they had done.

“I'm putting my boots on,” he said. “Fill me in.”

“With some help from Mitch,” Zander added.

Theo frowned. “Mitch?”

Mitch Landry was one of the nice ones. A really good guy. He wasn't really a prankster. Well, he could be talked into pranks, but they were almost never his idea and they were generally the good-natured ones. Whereas Zeke, Owen, and Cian were definitely more prone to pranks that were mischievous, borderline annoying, borderline offensive, borderline you–will-probably–want–to-kill–them.

“Tell me,” Theo said firmly.
