A CHRISTMAS WISH

"Stay away from me," she said, pointing her hand directly at his face.

He smirked, stepping closer before leaning in to whisper in her ear. The sound of his voice sent unexpected goosebumps down her skin.

"Let's see how Christmas goes," he murmured, the smirk still plastered on his annoyingly handsome face-handsome, at least, according to her. "If you don't end up running into my arms again."

She rolled her eyes in disgust, even as her heart betrayed her, skipping a beat.

"We'll see, Mr. George," she muttered under her breath, her voice laced with sarcasm.

Kendall and Christian were once the talk of the high school. They weren't just a power couple; their families were close, and everyone thought they'd eventually end up married.

But everything fell apart when Christian left town without a word, shattering Kendall's heart. Weeks later, the whispers began-a rumor that he had left to be with someone else, someone he'd met during a summer trip. Kendall didn't want to believe it, but the photos she saw on social media told a different story. While she was left nursing her heartbreak, Christian seemed to be living his best life with his "new start" and his "new girl."

The betrayal cut deep, leaving a wound that never fully healed.

Seven years later, Christian is back in town. Both he and Kendall are invited to the same Christmas gathering.

What will happen when they see each other again? Will Kendall confront the ghost of their past and the pain he caused? And will Christian finally explain the truth behind his departure?
