Christmas Yet to Come (2015)
“The first book she’d picked up had made her stare blankly at pages of lines and symbols she didn’t recognize at all, and for a horrified moment she’d thought she was not just physically vulnerable but illiterate into the bargain. Then she’d realized she was looking at sheet music. Odd how there weren’t any instruments, in a parlor large enough to accommodate a spinet or a harpsichord.
She put the music aside and found a cookbook—partly because the more she tried food, the more she liked it,... and partly because she couldn’t afford to give herself away by showing her ignorance about the ways to prepare and eat meals. Most of the dishes seemed bewilderingly complex. No chance she’d be able to whip up a goose and a Christmas pudding to melt Justin’s heart via his stomach.
No, the most she could hope to do was buy enough time for her to return to her true self.
She went to the window, as close to the glass as she could be without actually touching it, and looked out at the snow.MoreLess
