Chapter 14

Dinner at Lucia's

Mandolyn awakens and rolls over to snuggle in closer to her man. His skin feels so warm and inviting as he lay next to her. She wraps her arms around him and lays her face against his chest, trying not to wake him but rather to enjoy getting lost in the moment. Then she remembers the other day with Scott's funeral and the numerous spirit creatures that have been lurking about. In fact, she recalls that Charlotte and Jake are still keeping tabs on her. She just wishes she would stop seeing and hearing what she call ghosts. She starts to fidget a little and Paul feels her body movement, draws her in even closer, and then gently kisses her lips. They planned on taking advantage to this being a Sunday morning and sleep in a little longer after having such an eventful evening. With the sun's rays beaming in through the skylight above their bed, they decide to get up and begin their day.

Paul groggily makes his way downstairs to get the coffee perked, while Mandolyn jumps into the shower real quick to feel refreshed and shake off the thought of the lurking spirits. After she has dried off and begins to get dressed she notices a group of gargoyles soaring in the distance outside her room and then something catches her eye; it's Charlotte and Jake looking down through the skylight. Mandolyn lets out a gasp since the couple's faces startles her. Luckily she doesn't have to explain her outburst this time to Paul. He has the tunes playing and she can hear him singing along as he joyfully makes the coffee and takes out the recycling.

When she enters the kitchen downstairs to join her man, Paul says, "There you are beautiful! Coffee is ready and we have doughnuts, compliments of the Patterson's from fight night."

"Thanks babe," says Mandolyn and then takes a bite of the custard filled treat.

"I was thinking we can put the Christmas tree up today," says Paul, trying not to smile too big to give his excitement away.

This is their third Christmas and for the previous two, the couple has set a tradition of exchanging a gift after the angel is placed upon the top of their tree. The present is always an ornament; so not only will they add it to their collection, but also enjoy it this holiday year. After all the lights and the rest of the decorations have been thoughtfully placed, the two exchange the giftwrapped trinkets. Last year Mandolyn found a samurai figurine at an antique shop. She wanted to make something unique and thought, with a little embellishing, the tiny statue would make a great ornament. It happened to be a huge hit with Paul who can't wait to put it on the tree. This is always a favorite holiday for Mandolyn and she happily agrees to make an afternoon of Christmas cheer.

She goes to the roll top desk in the study and opens the little box of Christmas cards that she has been looking forward to send out.
