The Christmas Proposition
“Christmas shopping was the name of the game. Before Derek had left her house, he’d asked if he could see her again. She’d promptly invited him to go Christmas shopping with her and Mickie.
But a last-minute invitation to go tubing at Snow King with Addie and her family had changed Mickie’s plans. So now it was just her and Derek and the Big Box store on Highway 89.
Derek wheeled the Escalade into the drive and slowed to a crawl. Rachel couldn’t recall when she’d seen the parking lot so packed.
...By the time they found a parking spot and reached the entrance, Rachel was wondering if this had been a mistake. Then she walked through the front door and was mesmerized.
A group of high school students, dressed like characters from A Christmas Carol, were singing songs from the show while parents handed out leaflets advertising the upcoming high school production.
When the students began to sing “A Place Called Home,” Christmas spirit—so long absent—found its way into Rachel’s heart.MoreLess
