TRUTH BE TOLD, LEE felt pretty full of himself. Things were back on track. There could be no way Claire didn’t feel that kiss. Her lips were amazing, even if they were only responding to him. Lee shuddered at what she could do when she took control. A man would die for a woman like her. And no man, other than him, would have her.

Lee fished for his car keys in his pocket and noticed Sami beaming at him through the window. He flashed her a cocky grin and got into his car. He wasn’t familiar with the town, but he had quite a few errands that needed to be done, starting with a coat. Most of his business trips took him to warmer climes so his bag didn’t take into account the nippier times of Washington weather. Fortunately, clothing wasn’t a major problem and he soon walked back to his car wearing more appropriate clothes for the weather with a few extra changes in bags.

He still had most of the morning to kill. Lee found a picnic table beside a feed and seed store where he could make a phone call. It took a few moments to connect.

“Lee? Is something wrong?” Alison’s voice came through his receiver with a bit more static than he’d expected but international calls were always dicey.

“Everything’s fine. I was wondering if I could impose on your holiday for a bit of quick programming. You do have your laptop with you?”

Alison laughed.

“Is the Pope Catholic? That’s a silly question. Sure, I can do something quick for you this evening. We’re kind of waiting to get into the torture museum at the moment.”

“The what? I thought you two were going to spend Christmas?”

“Yeah. We are.”

Lee heard Gwen’s voice in the background and Alison identify him before she yelled “Merry Christmas” at him.

“Tell her I said Merry Drawn and Quartered to her too.”

Alison laughed and Lee explained what he needed her to do.

Finding a florist and some nice chocolate, turned out to be the easy part of what Lee figured would be difficult. Finding a good bottle of wine not in a box or with a price greater than ten dollars, proved to be the challenge. Lee still had no idea what he’d do for dinner, but something would surely come to him.

He’d noticed the flyer for the Christmas parade while the florist took his order. December eighteenth—today. What the heck. He’d time to kill. His father should be rolling in his grave right now. Christmas had never been a big part of his childhood. Sure, he’d always gotten a present or two, but Lee always knew it’d been more for “fitting in” and presentation, more than any real meaning to the holiday. It’d been a time to show off to business partners in the hopes of additional work being heaped on his father, who seemed to enjoy it, or at least the money at any rate. Any excitement he’d had about the holiday as a kid had been crushed under his father’s avarice.
