Peppermint would be nice. My mom used to always put candy canes in our hot cocoa.

That’s nice that you have each other, though. I wouldn’t know where I’d be without Calder. We grew up here. Our ranch, it’s just north of here, has been in the family since our great great grandfather.

That’s exactly what I do, too! Do you want a candy cane?

Oh, wow. What an amazing tradition to have in your family. That sounds so wonderful.

coltonflynns‌:

It’s nice to meet you too, Holly.

– Um, what brings you and Gemma to Pine Ridge? That is, if you don’t mind my asking.

Here you are! Would you like any peppermint or cinnamon?

Oh, um...no, no, I don’t mind at all. We just...both sort of had some...rough situations back home. We each had a really bad break up, and...well, it just wasn’t the best situation to be in.

So we decided to come out here for a fresh start, together! We are going to turn this house into a bed and breakfast! We’ve been best friends forever, and we have always wanted to do something like this.

What about you? Have you lived in Pine Ridge for long?

…Marshmallows, please.

– I don’t think anyone would ever call you rude. I’m Colton.

Colton. Hi. It’s really nice to meet you.

Thank you. And...hot chocolate with marshmallows, coming right up! 

[hollynbailey]

coltonflynns‌:

Hot chocolate would be nice. Thank you.

Of course! The kitchen is right through here. Would you like whipped cream or marshmallows? 

Oh! I’m Holly, by the way. Did I say that already? I’m sorry, that was so rude of me!

[hollynbailey]

coltonflynns‌:

We, uh, we plowed the street. Part of it, anyway. 

– I’ve got some coffee. But it’s almost gone, I think.

Thank you so much for doing that! I-- we really appreciate it. Um, would you like to come in for some hot chocolate, too?

[hollynbailey]

coltonflynns‌:

– Hello.

Hi there!  Thank you so much for doing this.  Would you like some...hot chocolate...um...

Hello.

gemmamarch‌:

You’re a genius, Hol.

I try! Wow, what a lovely town! I’m so glad we moved here!

[hollynbailey]

gemmamarch‌:

Is there any other kind of candle?

Not only is that a truck, it’s a truck with a plow. Bet it’s a sweet old farmer plowing us out.

Not that I’m aware of!

Aww, that’s so sweet! This town is really amazing!

Let’s bring him out some hot chocolate. It would be so nice to thank him, and help him warm up, too!

[hollynbailey]

gemmamarch‌:

The best way to go to bed, to be honest.

I couldn’t agree more!

Hot chocolate is almost ready!  Ooh, I love that we have some Christmas-scented candles, too. This is going to be so cozy and perfect!

...Hey, Gem? Is that truck slowing down in front of the inn? Do you think they’re okay?

[hollynbailey]

gemmamarch‌: 

My vote is for The Holiday, or Home Alone. Two very different vibes, but both excellent in their own right.

I vote for a double feature. Start with The Holiday, then finish up with Home Alone, so we can go to bed with the giggles!

[hollynbailey]

gemmamarch‌:

That we turn all the lights off, light the candles, start a fire in the fireplace and watch a Christmas movie with some hot cocoa.

Yes, yes, yes!

This will be so perfect and cozy!  I’ll start the hot chocolate!  What movie should we watch? 

[hollynbailey]

gemmamarch‌:

I am!

….have we unpacked the candles yet?

They’re all set out in the dinning room.

Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

[hollynbailey]

Gem! Are you seeing this snow?!
