“But Charlie—”
“Is moving in with Daniel on New Year’s Day. Toshiko can’t get out of her lease until June. Do you think we could sort of divide our time between here and Pettygrove?”
“Like timesharing my family?”
“I think they’re more timesharing us, but yes. What do you think?”
“I think . . . you’re right. You’re always right.”
“Not always. Remember once upon a time, I didn’t think I was cut out for relationships.”
“That was totally nuts. Nobody is better at them than you.”
“Depends on the relationship.” But he’d never give up this one. “Now, we’d better get these last gifts wrapped so we can get over to the Beeches. Holiday cheer with your dad, then home. Santa gets testy if he has to wait too long to scoot down the chimney.”
The heat in Alex’s gaze pinged Gideon’s heart and dick simultaneously. “Santa’s gonna have to take his chances, babe. Because once we get home, I’ve got plans to keep you up for a long, long time.”
Gideon snuggled closer and kissed the underside of his jaw. “Well, a very Merry Christmas to me.”
Alex grinned. “To both of us.”

E.J. Russell holds a BA and an MFA in theater, so naturally she’s spent the last three decades as a financial manager, database designer, and business intelligence consultant. Several years ago, she realized Darling Sons A and B would be heading off to college soon and she’d no longer need to spend half her waking hours ferrying them to dance class.
What to do with all that free time?
A lucky encounter with Jim Butcher’s craft blog posts caused her to revisit her childhood dream of writing fiction, and now she wonders why she ever thought an empty nest meant leisure.
Her daily commute consists of walking from one side of her office to the other, from left-brain day job to right-brain writer’s cave, where she’s learned to type with a dog attached to her hip and a cat draped across her wrists.
E.J. is married to Curmudgeonly Husband, a man who cares even less about sports than she does. Luckily, C.H. also loves to cook, or all three of their children (Lovely Daughter and Darling Sons A and B) would have survived on nothing but Cheerios, beef jerky, and satsuma mandarins (the extent of E.J.’s culinary skill set).
E.J. lives in rural Oregon, enjoys visits from her wonderful adult children, and indulges in good books, red wine, and the occasional hyperbole.
