Claire: Christmas is supposed to mean family, traditions, staying up all night in a blanket fort, and enough fancy hot chocolate to keep us warm until morning.
But when an unexpected accident leaves me recovering in a Sugarpine cabin, I find myself spending Christmas with Liam West-the boy who once made me laugh more than anyone else and the one person I never quite stopped wondering about. Maybe some feelings don't disappear with time. Maybe they just wait for the right Christmas to find their way home.
Liam: I've loved Claire Morgan for longer than I've ever admitted.
Now she's back in my life, sleeping in my cabin and laughing at my terrible jokes like she used to. Every moment with her feels a little too familiar, a little too easy, and a lot harder to pretend means nothing. I don't know what this Christmas is going to change between us. I just know I'm not ready to let another chance with Claire pass me by.
