The rhythmic sound of the horses guiding the sleigh mixed with the ringing of sleigh bells had a relaxing effect on Yvette. It was her first ride in one, and she was enjoying it immensely. Margaret handed out cups, and then passed around a thermos of hot apple cider. Everyone drank it between bouts of singing. Occasionally, there was a lull in conversation or Christmas carols that allowed Yvette to ponder her last conversation with Christopher.

You must know by now that I like you…a great deal. Those words played over and over in her head. In truth, she had gone over almost everything Christopher had said before Lacey came in to get them. He had not said a word about it since, but his invitation still hung between them. In fact, she was acutely aware that she owed him an answer…and that his cologne was driving her crazy.

“Are you having a good time?”

The words were whispered, but Yvette was so focused on Christopher he could have yelled them for all she cared.

“Yes, I am. I’ve never been on a sleigh ride before. This is such a treat for us. I’m glad you suggested it.”

“Me, too,” he admitted.

Yvette glanced across at her aunt. “Are you having fun?”

“Oh honey, this is a hoot,” Adelaide replied.

“I’m glad you all are enjoying this,” Margaret said. “Tony and I don’t get to do this as often as we used to. When Chris was young, he wanted to come out here almost every night. He never tired of it.”

He chuckled. “I still don’t.”

Yvette tapped her daughter. “I believe it’s your turn for a song, sweetheart.”

Lacey picked the Twelve Days of Christmas.

“Didn’t we just sing that?” Christopher pointed out.

Lacey nodded. “Yes, but that was a long time ago.”

“We sang it two songs ago,” Adelaide recalled.

“Come one, please?”

“Anything you want,” Anthony told her. He cleared his throat and started them off.
