Genres: Fiction
Joel flopped into a chair in Tom’s living room. “Otherwise I’d have been alone on Christmas Eve.”
Tom’s dimples deepened as he took a seat on the couch across from Joel. “You’re welcome to stay the night and spend Christmas Day here, too.”
“Naw, that’s okay. Your folks will be here tomorrow, and I wouldn’t feel right about cutting in on your family time.”
