*Holly*

Something in my gut was telling me to go for it with Patrick. I really enjoyed his company, I felt like I could talk to him forever, and he most definitely wasn’t bad to look at. Sure, he had a little baggage as did anyone, and Emily was a pretty big piece of baggage, but all in all, I didn’t find a single reason why he couldn’t potentially be better than my velvet-suited mystery man. At least, it wasn’t unreasonable to continue hanging out with him. Right?

I was honestly surprised and proud that I had asked him to join me at the gingerbread house building event. But after talking to him some more at the toy drive and finding out that he loved Christmas almost as much as me, I thought it would be better to ask him than to drag along Abigail, who would say yes but drag her feet, or to even attempt to get Gretchen to pull herself away from her boyfriend long enough. Patrick and I were alike in that aspect, and that excited me.

And… after the date, of course, especially after he

  • Meet-Cute Me Under the Mistletoe   Chapter 25

    *Holly*I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect Christmas. Usually, it was just me and my parents out at their house making cookies and watching Christmas movies. But this year, we had a couple of extra people to celebrate with. Early that morning, Patrick picked me up at home. This time, he gave me a twenty minute warning for his arrival so I had plenty of time to get dressed. It helped that I was already awake anyway. The excitement and anticipation of the day woke me up with the sun, so I had all of the time in the world. I ran out to his truck as soon as he pulled in the driveway, not even giving him the chance to be a gentleman and come to the door. He got out anyway and greeted me with a warm kiss that made my heart flutter. He opened the passenger side door for me and picked up Carol to put her in my lap. “You’re ready early,” Patrick said. I shrugged nonchalantly. “You know. It’s just my favorite day of the year and all, so I’m not really excited or anything.”He laughed

    *Patrick* Mistletoe Mountain’s Christmas Eve party never seemed special before. I hadn’t actually been to it since my parents died. Before that, I was young and I generally had fun, but I didn’t fully appreciate it until I went with Holly. When I was dating Emily, she always insisted that I use Christmas Eve as a vacation day. She didn’t work, of course, and I always ended up just following her around shopping or whatever she felt like doing. I would see pictures that friends shared on social media and I would be interested in going. But even when I asked Emily if we could go, she would just say that she already made plans for us out of town or something. With some distance from her now, I was actually free to do what I wanted. And I’d found someone I shared common interests with, someone I had fun with, someone I could confide in. She was someone… magical. And I didn’t intend to let her think otherwise ever again. Honestly, it was more than magical that I’d found Holly. It was a

    *Holly*The last few days had been a wild ride. But Glen and Pam confirmed that Emily was officially sent off to work at one of their companies on the coast. I was relieved, but the biggest weight was lifted off Patrick. He was like a whole new man. When I first met him, I thought he was lighthearted and cool and kind, but now, he was even more so. And those times he’d been a little flirty with me were just the tip of the iceberg. The man was the definition of suave. But mostly, it was the light in his eyes that shined the brightest. The blue in them became iceberg-clear. It was like a mirror of peace and happiness when I looked into them. I caught myself slipping into them again and again. After the Emily ordeal, we’d had a couple of days of work to put under our belts, but it was officially the day before Christmas Eve, and it was time for the biggest festival of the whole season. It was even grander than the Santa Claus Ball. Instead of being localized at the auditorium, the part

    *Patrick* “I have to say I didn’t expect you to call me,” Emily said. It hadn’t been easy, but I had called her to meet, saying we could talk over dinner. I asked her to meet me at the place of our first date, a little retro diner with plastic booth seats and red barstools. She showed up all dressed up like usual, her dark hair straightened so it fell just so over her shoulders and down her back. She wore red lipstick that drew attention to her full lips, and her eyes were winged with eyeliner that she thought made her look catty in all the right ways. She even wore a mini skirt, but at least she had enough sense to wear tights underneath. She was certainly trying to win me over with her looks.I shrugged and gestured for her to sit on one side of the booth. I sat across from her and folded my hands together on top of the table. “I gave it a lot of thought, and I decided to take you seriously,” I told her. She smirked. “I thought you might have reconsidered since you decided to br

    *Holly*A few days later, I felt a little strange, I had to admit, going to a diner with my love interest and his ex-girlfriend's parents. It felt like I had crossed some kind of line, but Patrick assured me that despite Emily’s behavior, her parents were good people. We could trust them, and they might be our last bit of hope at getting her to leave us alone.I let Patrick lead me by the hand into the restaurant. He laced his fingers naturally through mine, and I wondered if his heart wasn’t going as crazy as I felt. He was so casual about it, but this was the first time we’d held hands like this.And my heart was beating anxiously on top of that. We’d just made it to the table where Emily’s parents were waiting for us. The two of them looked kind enough. The lady was probably nearing fifty, and she wore her hair short and dyed a mahogany red color. She donned a pair of bit pearl earrings on her ears and a matching pearl necklace around her neck. The man’s hair was short and thinning

  • Meet-Cute Me Under the Mistletoe   Chapter 20

    *Patrick*I almost couldn’t contain my excitement as soon as I saw Holly. She looked lovely as ever with her long hair curled into waves. But her eyes looked a little duller than usual, more earthy and dry than like a bright emerald. I wanted to go to her, but as soon as she saw me, she turned away. At that moment it felt like someone had gut-punched me. She definitely saw me, and she definitely ignored me, too. I remembered what my aunt Louise had told me about giving her space while still letting her know I cared and wanted to see her when she was ready. I supposed she got the flowers when she went to work, but maybe she didn’t like them. Maybe she needed more time.So throughout our caroling tour, I kept my eye on her. I tried to sneak in, but her friends had barricaded her off. I closed in after the first couple of songs, and when her friend on the left side got hung up chatting with her boyfriend about the archway in someone’s yard, I used the moment to get next to her.
