A Carol Christmas
“Gabe too decided he’d better slide on home.
As I stood by the front door watching our drop-in guests shrug on their coats, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror that hung on the entryway wall. I was smiling.
And I wasn’t faking it. I’d had fun. I still couldn’t go as far as Kenny and say my family was cool, but they knew how to have a good time. I guess somewhere on the road to adulthood I had lost sight of that. Even looking at Gabe, who was grinning at me, I felt a dab of sentiment do a ...sticky drip over my heart. We’d had some good times. Maybe a dark, snowy night was a good time to bury the hatchet.
Of course, that didn’t mean love would spring up where you buried it. I’d have to make sure Gabe understood that.
It went without saying there would be no burial service for that proverbial hatchet until I found out why he and Keira had broken up. Obviously, my sister wasn’t going to volunteer the information, and I wasn’t going to let her think it was all that important to me to know.MoreLess
