She giggled at his confession and pulled herself away from him until they were at arms-length. She wanted to be able to see his face when she told him. "I love you, too. I got scared that night, but I think I knew it then, too. I can't promise you I won't get scared again, but what I can promise you is that I'm not afraid to see where we're supposed to end up. I think we owe it to ourselves to find out."

He closed his arms around her once more, and she could quickly feel him fishing for something in his coat pocket, though she didn't care enough to find out what it was. She was perfectly content just being held by them that anything else she could have done might have ruined the moment.

"I think you owe me a kiss, Leah."

When she looked at him with a puzzled expression, he motioned his eyes upward. Hers quickly followed and found the small green mistletoe he was holding directly above them. She had to stifle a laugh when she saw it.

"You didn't."

"Oh, I did."

Nice story

I had to stop reading at page 2, it was a little too wishy-washy for me. I still gave you 3 stars, cuz it was middle of the road and your writing was kinda good, I suppose. I don't know if it gets better or worse in the next page, so the 3 is just based on what I read so far. I have nothing personal against you or the genre, but Romance just doesn't do it for me. Guess I'm twisted that way. But hey, to each his own and all that, right?

Very Nice

I liked the characters and the building of the relationship. The interaction with Charlie was well done also.

Nice story

Terrific story!

I'm not going to start off my comment by pointing out flaws, like far too many readers do. We all make mistakes and a 'few' spelling errors worry me. This being your first story here, don't let the critics get you down. I'm all about the story itself, and I want to say that the story is well thought out and well written.

I have to agree with one of the anonymous comments, after three years (mind you I don't get the feeling she'd been celibate) that Leah came at Jon too quickly. Call me crazy, but I love the build up of sexual tension. I do love the way you didn't just drop the reason she was a widow at the beginning of the story. I was wondering, tour of duty, then the drinking came up, and it ended up surprising me when you got to it.

Please, please, please keep writing! I can't wait to see more of your work.
