What is your story?
My story is about me returning to Montana to help Reagan plan her wedding as I finally cut all ties with my first love, Caleb, and realize my love for Chayton. And some of the crap we went through to get where we are now, including dangerous stuff I’d rather not relive.
Who are you?
I’m an obsessive-compulsive fashion consultant who likes to be in control and needs things organized. I’m working on some of those traits.
Do you feel your author, Angela Smith, portrayed you accurately?
She portrayed me pretty well, even the bad parts.
Do you have any special strengths?
My biggest strength is clothes related, of course, seeing as how I’m a fashion consultant and have been for many high-end clients. I can fix just about any wardrope emergency or problems with hair or makeup. I could be a professional organizer, too, because I have a knack for getting things organized.
Do you have any special weaknesses?
I’m OCD and I expect everyone to abide by my standards. If I want the towel hanging a certain way, why can’t they just do it that way?
What makes you happy?
My friends and family, especially when they do things my way, haha. No really, I’m not that bad.
What are you afraid of?
I used to be afraid of, not necessarily change, but the things that go with change. I need my roots to have stable ground. But I’m learning to let go of some of my roots and plant new ones.
What do you regret?
My past and some of the things that happened, some of the things I couldn’t control and even some of the things that aren’t my fault but will always make me feel guilty. Sometimes I feel guilty for being so happy, for being the one who survived.
What is your biggest disappointment?
There are so many, I don’t want to give anything in the story away. But you’ll learn about them if you read my story.
What in your past had the most profound effect on you?
Being in a wreck with Caleb when I was eighteen years old.
Who is your true love?
Chayton Chambers.
What is the most important thing that ever happened to you? Why?
Being in a wreck with Caleb years ago changed my entire life, my entire perspective on life, and it made me who I am today.
Was there a major turning point in your life?
I think coming to Montana with my cousin and meeting Chayton was the biggest turning point in my life. We really had a connection, even though we were just friends at the time, and I was still trying to hold onto a failing relationship with Caleb.
What is your most closely guarded secret?
I don’t really have secrets anymore.
Do you have any hobbies?
Lots! I love fashion, and I love going out on the slopes with Chayton. We love skiing and snowboarding, and he’s going to teach me to ice climb. And of course the summer we love to be outside to fish, kayak, and dirt bike. Chayton is working at getting the city out of me.
Name five items in your purse, briefcase, or pockets.
A really good mirror, concealer, lipstick, a comb, and antibacterial lotion.
If you had the power to change one thing in the world that didn’t affect you personally, what would it be?
My past. Not that I haven’t learned to appreciate the present, but there’s a lot of things in my past I wish I could change and take back.
How do you envision your future?
I envision Chayton putting a ring on my finger and maybe eventually building a house together like Garret and Reagan did.
What is your most prized mundane possession? Why do you value it so much?
The stuffed bear Reagan gave me, because it is a symbol of my new life, of who I am today and everything we have both gone through. She has her stuffed moose, and I have my stuffed bear. We laugh about that a lot.
What was your family like?
Crazy. My mom was a little obsessive herself. She always wanted me to be on my best behavior, to grin and fake it. Now that I’m older, I know she only had the best intentions, but it drives me crazy sometimes because I can’t hold off on speaking my mind most of the time even when I know I should.
When’s the last time you saw any member of your family? Where are they now?
I see Reagan, my cousin, every day. I saw most of my family at Reagan’s wedding and we plan to go visit them and they’ll visit us soon.
Did you ever meet any other family members? Who were they? What did you think of them?
I know all of my family and now I am meeting Chayton’s.
What is your worst childhood memory?
The wreck that killed my friends.
What is something you had to learn that you hated?
I always hated math, but it’s important to know measurements and such in fashion.
What do you find most relaxing? (Not as in stress relief, but as something that actually calms you down.)
Being on the slopes with Chayton, and going to his cabin to lounge in the hot springs.
What is the perfect romantic date?
Pretty much what I mentioned above. Having a nice dinner outside in the warmer weather. Cooking together and enjoying a glass of wine or one of Chayton’s’ cocktails while we watch the sunset on the porch.
What is more important – sex or intimacy? Why?
Both! I believe it’s important to have sex to strengthen intimacy and I believe increased intimacy.
What’s the worst thing you’ve done to someone you loved?
I was pretty mean and insensitive to Chayton, but that was before I admitted my love for him.
What one act in your past are you most ashamed of? What one act in your past are you most proud of?
I am proud of who I have become. I’m sorry that I didn’t’ try to change things when I was younger.
What trait do you find most admirable, and how often do you find it?
Honesty. I find it often among my true friends, but sometimes honesty is in the eye of the beholder.
Is an ounce of prevention really worth a pound of cure? Which is more valuable? Why do you feel this way?
Oh yes. There’s a lot of things I could have prevented if I’d tried hard enough, including hurting others. That’s one of the reasons I’m trying to watch my words. Then again, there are some things you just can’t prevent.
What one word best describes you?
Obsessive.
How do your friends see you?
I think they look up to me. I mean, they know I’m a genuine person and I’d do anything for them. I love a good party and I love to help organize parties, but I’m also a bit rash in my decisions. I tend to overreact sometimes.
How do your enemies see you?
Umm, I don’t think I have any enemies, but if I did they’d probably see me as rash.
What, if anything, haunts you?
My past and some of the things that happened.
How private of a person are you? Why?
Not really at all, depending on the person I’m with. I’m an open book to most people who know me.
If you were to gain an obscenely large sum of money (via an inhertiance, a lawsuit, a lottery, or anything else) what would you do with it?
Give most of it away and invest some for me and my family’s future.
What would you wish for if you found a genie?
I’d wish for the ability to see the future and make decisions based on that. But in reality I wouldn’t because even that would have consequences.
