Engaging Father Christmas (2008)
“Ellie was busy in the kitchen alongside Natasha preparing all sorts of wonderful Christmas feast goodies. She had presents yet to wrap, as did I, and she wanted to pull together a meal for Katharine, who had gone back to the hospital to be with Andrew for the day.I took in all the details, prepared to help out any way I could, and felt a slight sort of guilt for playing the princess for so long that morning. Ellie didn’t mind. She was floating along on her usual river of grace.“Julia said you heard from Ian. Is that right?” I reached for one of the grapes in a beautiful glass bowl on the marble countertop in Ellie’s renovated kitchen.“Yes! Oh, did you not get that message? We’re to keep you occupied today until he’s ready.”“Ready for what?”Julia giggled and covered her mouth. Ellie stopped chopping celery and froze as if she had forgotten something. Or maybe she was trying to remember something.“We’re to keep you occupied until he’s ready for Christmas,” Ellie said brightly.
