A Christmas Hope (2012)
“Which might explain why he was so jumpy. He hadn’t felt this nervous since he’d asked his Missy to marry him, though he had to take some comfort in the fact that she said yes right away. And hadn’t that worked out well, sixty-two good years. So he told himself to just swallow his growing apprehension, wasn’t this what he’d come back for after all these years, an old man determined to rediscover one last time the little boy who lived inside of him? Rather than try to rationalize his concerns, he... instead turned his attention to which of his bow ties would complete his outfit tonight. Not the navy blue solid—he’d worn that one to meet Nora; perhaps something more upbeat was appropriate, like a polka dot or the goofy one with the little green frogs.

It was wintery without being overtly Christmas-like, though some might say it was too early in the season for such a festive accoutrement.MoreLess
