*bows* Thank you, Tim! I did some research on head injuries and such, I didn't want to write some unrealistic stuff and thereby disregard people who suffer from head trauma.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Val. I thought there wouldn't be a story for this anthology. Every idea I had felt somehow flat, bland. When I finally had an idea, it was almost too late. 'Love will find a way.' Yep, at least when my fingers are on the keyboard, lol.
Awww, you break my heart! I won't tell anyone, how's that? lol
I'm glad it worked for you. And it wasn't only romance, it was drama too, so crying is okay.
OMG, AC. Wonderful and kind words. I doubt my writing from time to time. I will come back and read this comment every time this happens.

With the gloved hand covering my mouth and nose it’s difficult to breathe. All I can smell is leather. He’s mocking me. My feeble attempts to free myself seem to amuse him. Fucker!
I stop fighting. Suddenly I have room to lean forward slightly, and then I slam my head back as hard as I can. Fuc
I understood it as a wake up call. And stupid me had to think of Tanner and Tannenbaum. Anyway, I liked the story. Jude is heading for an interesting new year, I'm sure.
Thank you, Def! They actually planned on catching Santa, to finally prove it's their uncle. (me) Well, the little one, the other two already know, lol.
Two naughty children have a plan
And cookies are the bait.
In camouflage with camera
They’re targeting the plate.
A picture proving he exists
But Santa he is the late.
A dare, a wish, a secret thought
A precious gift that Santa brought.
Four tiny feet creep down the stairs,
Till they reach the landing
To sneak a peek at Santa Claus
With Daddy he’s standing
But what is this? They joke and kiss!
Answers they’re demanding!
