What a perfect story for Christmas Eve!
This story makes me happy weepy. Yes, that is a thing, and it’s easy to get at this time of the year. Especially this year.
Well, that was beautiful! I had to read the story twice. As someone who has taken your and Dean’s Depth workshop, the story felt like an absolute clinic in writing depth. I hope you both have a fantastic Christmas!
