Blue Christmas used to be his annual quiet ritual, a reminder of the woman who captured his heart thirty years ago and the life they somehow let slip apart. But when they unexpectedly crossed paths again decades later, looking into her eyes felt like waking from a long, cold dream as he found himself completely falling for her all over again. Time had changed them both, yet the warmth of her smile immediately chased away the chill of the decades between them. With her hand resting softly in his once more, the haunting holiday melody finally lost its grip, leaving him wrapped in the joyful certainty of a blue Christmas left forever in the past.
