   Summary

   Colin lost the spark.

   Christmas no longer seems bright or full of love. Mistletoes are reminders of his failure to show Penelope just how much he loved her. Loves her. Every inch of her flesh, hidden behind blue sweaters and sweet smiles. Penelope is the only bright thing about the holiday, and Colin cannot help but stare. Admire her curls loose around her temples. How she leaned against Alfie's shoulder, intertwined her dainty fingers with his. Her chest heaved, sighed, exhaled. Relaxed. She liked him, Colin knows it. But he can't let this continue, not like this.

   OR

   colin messed up last christmas, and he's determined to make it right this year.
