Snow Place Like Home (Home Sweet Holidays)

by Laura Pavlov

“Because when you told me that you broke up with the asshole and were moving back home, I knew it’s where I wanted to be,” he said. “You’re really moving back here?” “Yep. It feels like home. And there’s a girl I’m crazy about who happens to live in White Cap Mountain. And I hear she’s finally single.”

“Yes. What would you say?” “I would say, ‘Merry Christmas, Suzie and Joe. It’s a long time coming, and I’m crazy about your daughter, so we’re actually dating now.’” “You want to date me, Ace?” “I sure as hell do. And we’ll practically be neighbors once I close on the house, so it’ll be very convenient. Maybe I’ll even get a dog, so I have a reason to bug you at work.” 41 Loud laughter bellowed from her sweet mouth as she tugged me closer. “I’d like to date you too.”
