A Christmas Cotillion

stepping slightly close, “we have the memories of last night to keep us warm.”
The glow in Nick’s eyes was enough to set Jonathan’s senses ablaze. Nick was about to speak again when his father’s voice summoned him. With one last brief touch of Jonathan’s fingers, Nick went to join his elder.
The farewells and the rest of the evening was a slight blur as all Jonathan could think of was Nick’s bright smile, just for him. As he went to bed that night, he was aglow with Christmas spirit.
He felt an altogether different person from the grey shadow of a man who had arrived at the Grants. Not only had he made true friends in his hosts, but also many neighbours, including Mr. Hammond and his lovely Belinda.
But most of all, there was Nick. The potential of their feelings for one another made him feel alive in an altogether new way. As sleep took him over, Jonathan looked forward to the new year and the future beyond, with hope and joy.
