and your friend Lexi, whom you claim not to have a crush on, are featured prominently on the cover. It seems that at least one of the paparazzi is still hanging out in Kodiak to keep an eye on Lexi.”
Sawyer reached into his pilot bag, and pulled out a thin magazine, then handed it over to Anderson. On the front cover the words “Lexi’s Alaskan Man?” were splashed across the page. A collage of several photos of Anderson and Lexi walking into the restaurant for dinner the other night graced the page. One of the photos was taken from an angle that even made it look like Anderson was reaching out to hold Lexi’s hand, although he knew that in actuality he had been reaching out to open the door to the restaurant like a gentleman. Mercifully, Silver had been edited out of all the photos. Anderson had a feeling that this was less so that the magazine could respect the privacy of a child, and more because a six-year-old tagging along on a dinner date probably took down the romance aspect of the story several notches.
Anderson flipped open the magazine and found the page on which the story was located. The actual text of the article was not that substantial. Several more photos that were not that different from the ones on the cover were included in the interior article, along with a picture of him carrying the three bags of potting soil out of the hardware store. That picture looked like it had been taken from a great distance, because it was much grainier than the ones from outside the restaurant. But you could still clearly see that it was indeed Lexi Shaffer standing next to her pickup truck with him, in all her “sweatpants and messy hair” glory, no less. The text of the article read:
Lexi Shaffer, who escaped to Alaska after a string of too much partying in New York City as first reported by In the Know , may have found herself someone new to cozy up to when the cold winter nights start up north. She was spotted spending the day with a tall, muscular Alaskan man. First, the two got domestic by visiting a hardware store for what appears to have been gardening supplies. Then, they shared a romantic dinner at a cozy waterfront restaurant in Kodiak. Has Lexi finally moved on from ex-boyfriend Greg Welch and settled down again? And how will Greg take the news—especially now that supermodel Nicole Yates has broken up with him and left him lonelier than ever? Only time will tell.
“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me,” Anderson said. Silver’s eyes shot up in her father’s direction, surprised that he used a curse word around her. Anderson tried not to curse most of the time, especially around Silver. But he really had no other way to express the frustration bubbling up inside of him at the article. Silver had stopped her crying long enough to look with interest at what her father was holding in his arms. She could see that it was a magazine, but she couldn’t see the front cover since Anderson had folded it over. And he definitely did NOT want her to see the front cover. The last thing he needed was to add more fuel to the fire of Silver’s insistence that he had a crush on Lexi. If Silver saw a magazine printing that he was Lexi’s love interest, she wouldn’t care that it was a celebrity gossip magazine—she would run with the headline and insist that she had been right.
“Something you want to tell me?” Sawyer asked, drawing Anderson’s attention back to the present moment.
Anderson looked over at his alpha, and rolled his eyes in frustration. “No, there’s nothing I want to tell you. You know these magazines are notorious for printing garbage. I took Lexi out to dinner the other night because I felt bad for her since she has no friends in Kodiak. But it wasn’t a romantic dinner at all. Silver was there too, in fact. But it looks like they Photoshopped her out of all the pictures.”
“Look,” Sawyer said. “I’m not trying to give you a hard time about this. But, first of all, regardless
