I don’t know how to say it except to say it’s perfect. Everything about it is perfect.I was just sitting there looking at it thinking it reminded ...e of every pleasant Christmas memory I’ve ever had. Then you came in and said about me giving you a hard time about last year’s tree and needing to find a new place to live if I did it again. It hit me like a ton of bricks just how bad I’ve been and that we may never have another Christmas together. There’s no explanation why but I feel so ashamed of. My mind was going a mile a minute.

I slipped off the Speedos and lay back down on my front. I felt a slight breeze but also felt the sunshine hitting my skin and slowly drying up.
