Jamie turned and let out a soft yelp of excitement as tears continued to roll down her cheeks. "Are you shitting me?"
"Jamie!" Her mother chided as she lifted her glass of wine to her lips.
"I'm not sh—teasing you." Mark glanced Jamie’s mom and then winked at her as they all started laughing.
Christine's voice was soft, but caught Jamie's attention. "I don't feel like I have a lot to be grateful for, but funnily enough, I'm grateful for the realization that I haven’t always been the nicest person, especially to Jamie. Mom’s thankful I got married, but it was a lot of work – the wedding and after. Maybe by feeling the effects of someone hurting me, it woke me up to who I had become. I'm grateful for reconciliation and for people being good to me, even when I didn't deserve it." She raised her glass. “Thanks for second chances.”
“Hell, yeah!” Mark whistled and raised his glass beside Christine’s.
"Dammit, you guys!" Jamie started crying harder, but managed to lift her glass toward the center of the table. "I’m far from perfect, but I'm grateful for this life, which includes each and every one of you. "
Everyone threw in their agreement as the glasses clinked against one another in perfect harmony.

Jamie motioned for Alex to stop the Lexus near an old ice rink, that used to be a mainstay at the edge of a little country town they were traveling through. It was rarely used anymore, but the memories of her dad taking her there flooded her.
Mark had decided to spend the afternoon watching football with Jamie's dad and sister, which was awkward, and yet not. Mark never met a stranger, and Jamie had no doubt that he would be a quick fixture over at her parents’ house now that he was moving in with her and Alex.
"What is it?" Alex reached over and took her hand.
"Just a memory. Can we get out for a minute? I just want to see if the old pond my dad taught me to ice skate on is still here." She gave him a hopeful look.
"Of course. You can have anything you want. You know that."
"Anything?" She smiled nefariously.
"On second thoughts, it's too cold out there. Let's get you home and let me warm you up by the fire." He wagged his eyebrows at her.
"Yeah, that does sound better." She glanced out at the frosty setting before her. "Besides... it's best to leave the past in the past."
"When you have such a bright future ahead? I couldn't agree more." He brought her hand to his mouth and kissed her fingers softly. "Thank you for my gift this morning. It's the best one I've ever gotten."
"What? It wasn't much, really."
"Sure it was. It was your heart. That's all I've wanted since meeting you."
She took a shaky breath and nodded. "It's all yours for sure."
"And mine is yours.”
His lips brushed softly against hers and she imagined their two heads pressed close together to form a heart. She loved him, and had a hard time remembering what her life had been like before she met him.
“Merry Christmas, Ms. Connors."
"Merry Christmas, Mr. Reid." She smiled against his mouth, sure she had never been happier than in this moment.

Sometimes the heart needs a different kind of saving... find out if Charity Thompson will find a way of saving forever in this hospital setting Best-Selling Romance by Lexy Timms
Charity Thompson wants to save the world, one hospital at a time. Instead of finishing med school to become a doctor, she chooses a different path and raises money for hospitals – new wings, equipment, whatever they need. Except there is one hospital she would be happy to never set foot in again--her fathers. So of course he hires her to create a gala for his sixty-fifth birthday. Charity can’t say no. Now she is working in the one place she doesn’t want to be. Except she’s attracted to Dr. Elijah Bennet, the handsome playboy chief.
Will she ever prove to her father that’s she’s more than a med school dropout? Or will her attraction to Elijah keep her from repairing the one thing she desperately wants to fix?
