A Short Story
Opposites attract.
Harold just wants to stay home and type away on his novel, but his wife drags him to their usual holiday party. Using hearty doses of inner sarcasm to salvage his peace of mind, Harold waits for the signal he can retreat back to his comfort zone.
A young surprise guest issues in the silence Harold only dreamed of and more gossip than he can stand. But on a cold, dark, snowy night, a few moments of warm conversation might be all it takes to change Harold’s book and his marriage.
