When Evan reached to take the scissors, their fingers grazed and a shot of awareness jolted him. It reminded him of the time he stuck his hand in a bug zapper on a boy scout camping trip, the sensation nearly singeing him. He blindly hoped CeCe felt the charge, but she didn’t show any indication that she had. Her attention was on the candy, and he needed to focus on the matter at hand. Otherwise he’d be cutting more than paper with those scissors.
A smug look of satisfaction crossed her lovely face once she was done, and Evan had to stop himself from documenting the moment with a photo. Nothing looked as gorgeous as CeCe after a successful day in the kitchen. As far as he was concerned, she was the eighth wonder of the world. Evan loved watching her come alive like this. Her normally gruff exterior vanished when she created sinful confections. She practically glowed, radiating a heat that brought him—and his appetite—to life. And there was a particular smile CeCe had when she cooked—her nose wrinkled and her bottom lip jutted out slightly. He’d only seen it outside of work a few times, and he’d give anything to be the reason it was on her lovely face.

Max looked at the table, noticing it had been set for three people. If he closed his eyes, he could pretend this was a few years ago and everything was normal. This was a normal family dinner, with the family that really mattered to him.
If they were back in time, he could walk to the sink and wrap his arms around Ginny, lean into her, and smell the skin at the nape of her neck. God, he missed those rights. The rights of a husband. At this moment, he would give his favorite spatula collection for one hour in the past. Swallowing the growing lump in his throat, Max said, “I d-d-don’t want to impose.”
Ginny surprised everyone by taking the wine from Harold and pouring a glass. She stepped forward and handed it to Max, her hand shaking slightly. A peace offering.
“Stay for dinner.” It was an order, not a question.
Max might have been lying to himself, but he could have sworn the corner of her lip tipped up in a smile. Whether it was a trick of his eyes, her words seemed genuine. He took the wine and sipped, eager for something else to focus on. “Thanks.”
Harold took Max’s coat and patted him on the back. “Take a seat, son. Dinner’s ready.”
And with that, Max eased himself into his usual chair. He watched the love of his life serve bowls of soup and sit across from him in the warm kitchen. The air around him smelled like home, with garlic from the soup and a hint of mint from Ginny’s shampoo. There was something comforting about knowing she used the same stuff even now. That meant there was a small part of her that was the same. Max took that kernel of truth and held it close to his chest. It might be foolish, but Max was allowing himself to hope that Ginny could be back in his life. A guy can dream, right? Maybe he’d get a Christmas miracle.
