“I am so grateful that your uncle had a sewing machine left here for me,” Hayley said. She loved the sound of the whirring needle, and sewing had worked wonders on her frazzled nerves to be able to spend the morning finishing off the last of her Christmas gifts. Even if she wouldn’t be able to spend Christmas Day with her family, she still wanted to know that all the gifts were finished.

“Uncle Ryan knows you well,” Brian said. She’d been tired and distracted last night and hadn't realized until they got up this morning that Ryan and Brady had brought the box with her Christmas gifts and her sewing machine here before she and Brian arrived.

She had spotted them as soon as she came through to the living room at six this morning, and ever since, she had been practically glued to her machine. Brian had coaxed her away to eat a little breakfast and she suspected he would soon be trying to do it again for lunch.

But she wasn't hungry.

It wasn't that she was nauseous, sick, or anything else she was just enjoying this. It kept her distracted, so she didn't have to think about Jay Turner, and she knew that as soon as she stopped all of those fears and anxieties were going to come rushing back.

“He does,” she agreed, beyond grateful for what Ryan and Brady had done for her. They ran a private security firm, they had both been cops, and their natural instinct was to focus on her safety, that was their priority.

“You’re really good,” Brian said, watching her with a little bit of awe on his face. He had been watching her all morning. Maybe it should have made her a little uncomfortable, but it didn't, she just loved being with him too much.

“Thanks.”

“I can’t believe you’ve made one of those for everyone in our family in just twelve months.”

“It was a lot of work.” There were her parents, her sister, two sets of grandparents, her aunt and her family, her two uncles and their families, and that was just the relatives.

Then there was Brian’s family, his parents, two sisters, their husbands, and Elise’s baby daughter. There was Sophie and her little brother and parents, and Brian’s Uncle Jack and his wife and three kids, including their eight-year-old daughter Dotty who had Downs Syndrome, and the two foster kids they had living with them at the moment as well as Xavier and Annabelle Montague and their four kids.

She’d made some for Brady, his wife Aurora, their kids, and her friends Sawyer, his family, and Samara. All in all, that made a total of fifty-four Christmas books she’d had to make this year, which evened out to four and a half a month, or a little over one a week. She had been rushed off
