A small ache stirs in my chest that I don’t get to feel the magical wonder that comes with Christmas anymore…though watching her awe is starting to give me a buzz of anticipation, so maybe I do get to experience it, after all.

I glare up at the top branch of the towering Christmas tree. The tinsel and baubles shiver as though feeling the intense annoyance that radiates out from me.
With my arms folded and a frown on my face, I twist my head around to stare at Adam.

I hope that helps, and I truly hope you all enjoy it :)

Nate shifts, his perspiration-soaked skin stinging as it peels away from the leather sofa. He manages to grit his teeth to avoid making a sound. [Name] is snuggled up on the sofa next to him, and he would rather suffer a thousand wounds than wake them from the cozy state.

2020-11-20 13:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostSo I've said quite a few times how I'm a VERY visual writer. I see Wayhaven in my head like it's a movie, and it's the only way I can write.
I learned early in my writing career (way before Wayhaven!) that I need visual aids in order to write fully and in depth as I like.
In order to do this, I make myself what I ...
