CARTER

Twenty years working oil rigs and I’m done. I’ve made enough money to cash out and what better way to settle into the idea of eternal, well-off bachelorhood than by joining my best friend Greg in Vermont for some skiing?

His daughter Serena’s coming too, she finished college last summer, so it’s a time to celebrate freedoms.

Little do I know, it’s also Greg who’s trying to set me up with a complete stranger on the same holiday.

A romance I know I don’t care for, even want to think about once I see Serena again.

My Serena.

It’s something I can’t deny, I have to claim her as my own, I will claim her.

Regardless of the consequences.

SERENA

What would an older guy like Carter Everett ever see in a younger girl like me?

He could have any woman he wants, the man’s a freaking god.

But dad seems determined to matchmake him, my Carter with some bimbo Barbie doll from a dating app.

Oh, did I mention I’ve had a wet patch for Carter since I learned what it means for a young woman to crave a man?

A real man.

I have the photo to prove it, the only thing that got me through college.

But worse than knowing dad’s trying to set up my biggest crush, is thinking if I don’t go on this trip I’m might never see Carter again.

It’s a fool’s hope, but it’s all I have. And I’m willing to risk it.

Even if it’s only to see Carter Everett in the flesh one more time.
