After a quick dinner, Cadence, Trey and Trent drove to the school just in time for the PTA meeting. Held in one of the classrooms, the adults looked silly sitting on the tiny chairs. Trent, especially, was having a time of it with his extra long legs.

He didn’t seem to mind when Lindsay Pierce sat next to him and smiled.

Trey nudged Cadence with his elbow and nodded his head at Trent before giving her a wink. Cadence smiled back and wished there was a way she could push Trent’s chair closer to Lindsay’s. From what she had heard and observed, Trent had been carrying a torch for the teacher since she arrived in the community three years ago. She didn’t know if it was a lack of interest on Lindsay’s part or a lack of effort on Trent’s, but they just didn’t seem to be able to take the first step of going out on a date.

It was a pity. Cadence didn’t think Trent would come across too many lovely girls who were close to his height living in Sherman County.

As the meeting began, she sat up and paid attention to the information shared. Before the meeting wrapped up, she volunteered to help Viv fill treat bags. It had been unanimously agreed that Trey should play Santa.

Trey was unusually quiet on the drive back home while Trent and Cadence discussed the meeting, the school, the teachers and the upcoming program. Trent was roped into agreeing to help a couple of the other men construct a winter scene for the play that would be performed the night of the Christmas program. Cadence and Trent came up with some fun ideas before Trey pulled up at the back door.

Once they were inside, Trent went to the office to Google ideas for holiday sets, leaving Trey and Cadence in the kitchen. She made herself a cup of spicy tea and sat down at the counter. Trey poured a glass of milk and sat beside her, oddly quiet.

“You’re going to have to be a lot more jovial if you are going to be a proper Santa.” Cadence offered Trey a teasing smile.

When he didn’t respond, she placed her hand on top of his and gave it a squeeze. “Something wrong, Trey? You’ve been awfully quiet this evening.”

Trey kissed the back of her hand and let out a sigh.

“I’m not convinced I’ll be the best Santa for the kids, Cady. I want them to have fun and enjoy their time with Santa. I’m just not sure I’m the right person for the job.”

Cadence took a sip of her tea. “From what everyone says, you look and sound the most like your father and all the kids, including you and your brothers, thought he was the real deal.”

“I know, but it’s more than that.”

“Like what?”

“For lack of a better way to describe it, my dad just seemed to have that special holiday magic. He could make each and every kid feel special. I don’t think I can live up to that kind of reputation or expectation.
