“I hope not. If she gets too close to the backside of the tree, she’s bound to see the tinsel,” he joked, drawing a small package from his pocket and then handing it to me.
“You didn’t have to get me anything,” I said, hoping he loved the gingerbread kit I had wrapped under the tree for him. I fingered the silver box before opening the lid. Then my throat tightened at what lay inside: a hand-carved wooden angel ornament. She was delicate and beautiful, with a small golden plate beneath her feet inscribed, “Forever Yours.” My vision blurred. “She’s so beautiful.”
“You’ve always been my angel,” he whispered, tucking my hair behind my ear, and then dropping his forehead to mine. “I thought you could put that ornament on our tree next year. Maybe one day, we’ll even have little angels of our own.”
“Oh, Dallas,” I said, lifting my lashes and peering into those warm caramel-brown eyes. “There’s nothing in the world that I’d love more.”
The snow began to fall harder, dusting the world with a sugar-colored frosting. My heart warmed and I let my lips find his. That kiss held everything I wanted to say. That I loved him. That I’d always loved him. And that I hadn’t just come home to Christmas Mountain. I’d come home to him and I would never leave again.
