I even made sure he had gifts under the tree so he wouldn’t feel left out on Christmas morning. I felt terrible and went out of my way to make him feel welcome. He’d told me that Jack lost his parents and didn’t have anyone to spend the break with. I remember being excited that my brother was bringing someone home. The first time I met Jack was when North brought him home for the holidays their freshman year in college. If they do, it’s because they’re changing them out for a new color. Troping is always decked out in holiday cheer because no one takes down their lights. He’s also pretty busy in the summer too when we do Christmas in July. Jack decided to open a snow resort for people who visited the town during the holiday. When my brother North came home from college, he brought Jack with him. I suppose neither is Jack, but he and my brother are best friends, and he’s been around for years. Who am I kidding? Even if I didn’t, I’d still be here for my morning sugar cookie coffee.Įmily used to come alone to collect Jack’s order, but now they’re coming together. I’m here every morning but mostly because I live above the place. That’s the second day in a row they’ve come to Snow Baked together to get their morning fix of coffee and some kind of delicious pastry. Emily, who works the front desk and is Jack’s right hand, sits in the passenger seat. Jack pulls up next to my patrol car in his fancy SUV that costs more than some people’s houses. He’s here again, and this time he’s not alone.
