A TEASPOON OF MISTLETOE. by Barbara McMahon
Annie had gotten the contract to decorate the street lights with Christmas wreaths in the park. Finding a man sitting on a bench, was he dead, to cold to be outside, and this early freezing. He was okay, and mentioned the coffee shop, and later she sees him there. His name was Nick and he had been in Sahara Africa, and after the heat there he couldn’t get enough of the cold air.
Being a doctor and the life of a nomad sounded good when one was young. With Annie and talking about this town activities,makes one think of putting down roots.Starting a practice, knowing his patients, healthy and sick.
Couldn’t make decisions like that yet, he had to get his strength and energy
back. Seeing her again at the coffee shop, as she was ready to leave, asked if she could use any help. Thought it might nice to have someone riding along, since she usual did all her work alone. Drawn to her, as to why she was content living in same town, and still excited about the same traditions, and activities that when on. Those things he had never known, families, close friends, he was thirty eight and wanted them. Beautiful told story, as though you could see what Annie was telling about her town,the delight of two meeting and love coming.
