One of the residents is Gus Martin, who is grouchy and continually rebuffs Adaline when she brings her beloved Cavalier King Charles spaniel puppy, Fuzzy. One day while making another attempt to engage with Gus, a man speaks up behind her. It is Jace Martin, a menace from her school days who mercilessly teased her. He left the town while in high school after spending a year with his Uncle Gus. He is now back and temporarily living on Gus’s ranch. Adaline vows to ignore Jace while he is in town, but she can’t after he outbids her for the use of a prime town outdoor space that she and her friends at Comfort Paws planned to use for an animal rescue fundraiser. Instead, Jace is selling Christmas trees. After he learns what happened, he offers to let them use space on his lot to sell hot chocolate.
