Heating Up the Holidays 3-Story Bundle (Play With Me, Snowfall, And After Midnight) (2013)
“Evan says. “I’m hanging it up.”
I can barely hear him over the bathroom vent, and I have my nose pressed against his shoulder blade because of the horrible chemical smells, but when he reaches up to unscrew the red lightbulb and turn on the bank of lights over the vanity, I stop his arm.
“Not yet, we haven’t had the moment of the big reveal.”
He runs his hand over my hair and turns me in his arms so I can lean into his chest.
“So,” he says. “It’s kind of dark in here.”
“It’s a darkroom.” I brea...the in his smell to crowd out the developing chemicals.
I don’t mind the dark, and because it’s Christmas, we’ve been busy putting lights up everywhere. High, so everyone knows we’re okay. In here, the dark has kept the fragile negative from getting overexposed.
Out there, the Christmas lights expose everything, us, our new and fragile love, the New Year.
Light and dark have their purpose, in them, we can see different kinds of things, or protect others. Or sometimes, the most beautiful lights would not be seen as well without some blackness behind them.MoreLess
