Home for Christmas

I don’t do Christmas magic. Or kids. Or second chances.

I do facts and figures, logic and reason, dividends and bank accounts and holidays spent alone.

That’s what I keep telling myself when I wake up in a shabby bed, in an unfamiliar life, next to a man I haven’t seen for twelve years —with a daughter I never had.

I'm clearly losing my mind. I didn’t stay in Abingdon. I didn’t stay with Van Narron, the love of my life. We gave up on that dream a long time ago.

But Van’s lips on mine, the warm touch of his fingertips , the Christmas carols and the decked out tree, and holiday cards lining the dusty mantle… and this sweet little girl calling me ‘Dad’ …

This life feels far more real than anything I know.

I'm dreaming. Things like this don’t happen. And they sure as hell don’t last.
