Tara was already decorating the living room mantle with holly and pine when Merry came back inside. Merry purposely didn’t make anything of it, but she was quietly thrilled to see Tara taking an initiative. She watched, impressed, when Tara picked up a spool of red ribbon, pulled out a length of it, and looped it repeatedly to fashion an artful bow. If it had been a step in the right direction when Ollie had join in, Tara taking part seemed a quantum leap.

As respectfully as she could, Merry placed family photos amongst the greenery they arranged on the mantle. She picked up a photo of Amanda with the twins as grade-schoolers, dressed identically. “So, you two used to dress to match.”

Tara shrugged pleasantly. “Kind of geeky, but I liked it. I guess I’m more into the whole twin thing than Hayden is.” Tara picked up a particularly striking photo of her father, and drew it to Merry’s attention. “Isn’t this great of Dad?”

Just then, Hayden leaned in momentarily from the kitchen. “Dinner,” she called.

Tara barked back, “Just a minute. Helping here.”

Not wanting to get between the sisters, Merry took the photo of Daniel. “I’ll get this. You go, eat. Really. It’s fine.”

Tara set the bow down, and then headed toward the kitchen.

Merry carefully placed the photo of Daniel at the center of the mantle. She lingered over his image, nestling it into the pine and holly boughs. It really was good of Daniel, she thought. All of his photos were. His dark hair, bright smile, and shining eyes were undeniably appealing. But mostly, she realized, it was the man himself who was starting to make her heart flutter in ways it never had before. Merry checked to make sure she was unobserved, then stroked the photo affectionately.
