The food kept coming. Dani had to taste a bit of everything. Roast, and ham, and buttery biscuits. Turkey with corn bread stuffing, and gravy, and cheesy potatoes, and green bean casserole. “Save room for the red velvet white chocolate cake,” Dani whispered to Sawyer. “It’s to die for.”

“I’m going to need a stretcher to carry you home,” Sawyer whispered back.

“I thought you brought the horse,” Dani said. Sawyer tried to wrestle the swan out of her arms, but she held on to it with an iron grip. The two started to laugh, and it took a long time to stop. After dinner and before dessert there was a chorus of crackles as guests popped open their Christmas Crackers. Dani’s contained a large, fake diamond ring. Sawyer shook his head as she placed it on her finger.

“Setting a really bad precedent,” he said. Dani laughed, then felt another rush of joy as his meaning sunk in. She tucked the swan in her lap, and waited for the red velvet cake. “Oh my God,” Sawyer said after he took the first bite. “Oh my God.”

“Right?” Dani said. “Right?”

“I’m really starting to like the South,” Sawyer said.

Shortly after dessert, leaving the other guests to their dancing, Dani and Sawyer stepped out onto the wraparound porch. At the bottom of the hill, the horse and carriage could be heard coming down the street. It stopped in front of the house and waited. Sawyer held out his arm. “Madam,” he said.

“For me?” Danielle said.

“For you,” Sawyer said. Together, they skipped down the steps toward the waiting carriage. Stars glittered overhead. The horse whinnied. There was a smell of cookies baking in the air. Dani lifted her head to the sky and searched for reindeer. It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
