“I love this!”

On Saturday afternoon, Meg stared in awe. A banner for the 30th Anniversary of the Marietta Christmas Stroll hung across Main Street of the historic downtown. Holiday cheer along with songs performed by Christmas carolers filled the air. The scene reminded her of a holiday movie. She’d completely forgotten about the Christmas strolls that towns all over Montana put on. Given the people crowding the street and sidewalks jockeying for a place for the lighting ceremony, no one else had forgotten.

“Where does the ceremony take place?” she asked.

“Crawford Park. But the lights are all over town.” Ty carried Brooklyn on his shoulders so she had a clear view and, more importantly, wouldn’t get lost in the crowd. “The lighting procession starts at the Rodeo Fair Grounds, travels down Front Avenue to 5th Street, then along Main Street to the Courthouse. We should have a great view from here.”

“Will we see Santa?” Brooklyn asked.

“Yes. Later you’ll be able to talk to him and have your picture taken at the Graff Hotel.”

“Santa’s going high end,” Meg teased.

“Well, he is Santa Claus,” Ty joked back. “Would you rather he took the photos at Grey’s Saloon?”

“Nope. I’ve wanted to get a closer look at Graff’s anyway.”

“You haven’t been there?” Ty asked.

“Not exactly in my budget, or a place Brooklyn would want to eat. The diner’s more my style. Macaroni and cheese is hers.”

Meg fingered the Marietta Stroll button pinned to her jacket. The button allowed admission to the various events, including a wagon ride and petting zoo. Ty had purchased them ahead of time. She couldn’t wait to see the gingerbread houses in the competition Rachel had judged. The winner, Jen Patterson, had made her first house last year using one of Rachel’s kits. Now the mom of two—a friend of Caitlin’s and the wife of Noah’s best man Jay—was hooked on decorating gingerbread.

“This is such a great idea.” Meg touched Ty’s arm. “Thank you for inviting us. I’m not sure we would have attended if you hadn’t. I mentioned the Stroll to a few guests after Nate talked it up, but I had no idea how special this is.”

Ty grinned. “Told you so.”

She laughed. “You did.”

“Stand here.” He positioned her in front of him and Brooklyn. “You’ll be able to see better.”

She nodded, unable to speak with her backside pressed against his front. She couldn’t move forward due to the crowds, and he didn’t seem to mind. Neither did she.

Warmth emanated from him. So strong and solid. Awareness thrummed through Meg’s body. She felt each beat of his heart and every one of his breaths.

He placed his hand on her shoulder, as if that were the most natural thing to do. Meg stiffened, feeling strange and more than a little turned on. Weird given the gesture was friendly, not intimate, well, except the way they stood. Their positions with Brooklyn on Ty’s shoulder made Meg think of a family, a husband and wife and child.

The image appealed to her at a deep level.
