*~*Love Note: Aden to Chase – Pour Your Heart Out by Zoe Lee*~*

 Chase Cade is as untethered as a kite without a string.

The minute she drives past the “Welcome to Maybelle” sign after six months traveling, she knows the quaint little town is something new entirely. It’s more than the good food and welcoming people — with the exception of the gruff bartender she meets her first night out.

Aden Riveau couldn’t be more rooted in Maybelle if he were an actual tree.
In a town that caters to tourists, his bar is the only place the locals have all to themselves. Everyone knows him and he knows everyone, and nothing spoils his peace more than having to deal with nosy, gawking tourists who don’t stick around.

She’s only in Maybelle for a vacation, and he’s never taken a vacation in his life. He can’t stop thinking about how different she is, and she can’t stop trying to figure him out. But her reservation has an end, and his never will, unless he can find a way to pour his heart out.

Dear Chase,

Tonight is the second Valentine’s Day we’ll be together, and last year, I had to work. I brought home two chocolate cupcakes with pink sprinkles and we ate them in bed at two in the morning. I didn’t mind. I don’t think you did either, even though we kept finding sprinkles in our sheets for the next week. I don’t love you any more today than I do other days, but this year, I want to do something special. I’m going to put on a suit and take you to this magical rooftop restaurant. I’ll even drink wine with you, and I’m going to smile the whole time. You’ll probably act shocked that I know how to smile. If you’re patient enough, I’ll tell you how much I love you. So go on and get ready, and I’ll pick you up in an hour, in a very fast sports car I borrowed for the night.

Love,

Aden
