    Summary

    The door opened to reveal Adam Parrish, Esquire, Attorney at Law. He was well dressed, tall and slender, with piercing blue eyes set deep in a handsome, angular face. His forehead was furrowed in a perturbed manner that made his fair eyebrows look like one long pale, blonde line. He had not one single hair out of place anywhere on his head, nor a wrinkle in his neatly tailored suit. He had dark circles underneath his eyes, and a few faded freckles dappled the bridge of his nose. Despite those two very human and almost boyish physical attributes, there was an innate peculiarity to his demeanor. He looked uptight, just like his office. He looked annoyed, just like Ronan. 

    Adam Parrish frowned at Ronan, and then he said, “I’m sorry. I don’t take criminal defense cases.”

    Summary

    The process of getting tree atop car is tetris-style torture. Even with their height, the Ford seems perpetually too tall, and the length of the tree makes the crown hang dangerously across the dash on their first attempt of hoisting. Blue eventually hops out to help direct. Ronan feels like he’s in a stage production playing the role no one else wanted. What’s worse is he can’t be fully mad–not at Mrs. Gansey’s delusions or Gansey’s easy appeasement or Ronan’s love of him-because without them, he wouldn’t have gotten to see Adam’s face twisting with focus, or hear him grunt with effort, or swear low as the tree threatens to roll off the truck’s hood. It’s just a small, under-the-breath fuck, but Ronan’s mind can’t help placing that sound in all different situations. He can’t help wondering what Adam’s arms would look like flexing without so many damned layers on.

    Fucking goddamn December. Beautiful, awful December.

    Adam is a contract worker getting through the holiday season. Ronan is given a last-minute mission to replace a Christmas tree for the Gansey Family Holiday Gala. They meet in a parking lot.
