“Do you trust me?”“More than I probably should,” I admit. Because even though I know next to nothing about him, I do trust him. My grandmother trusted him, but that only provided the foundation for my trust. “I don’t want it to be more than you should. I want to be worthy of it.” There’s an intensity to his words, and I feel that warmth inside of me growing and reaching toward him. I maintain my grip on him, letting our clasped hands connect us.“What else can you tell me?” I ask through parched lips. “I should warn you that I’d like to know everything.” His mouth twitches with a near smile. “I’m from New York City, born and raised, I’m allergic to peanuts, I’ve never had a relationship longer than a month, and I’ve never believed in Santa Claus, but I thought the Grinch was real until I was six.” My mouth drops open briefly before I can collect myself. “You told me your mother said your father was Santa Claus.”He huffs. “Of course you remember that. Well…she lied about everything else. I knew she was lying about that too.”“But how can you believe in the Grinch and not Santa Claus? What would he even steal if Santa hadn’t brought Christmas?”His eyes seem to twinkle with the reflected lights from the Christmas tree when he says, “I didn’t have all the answers. Before I met you, I never much cared about Christmas, but I like the way it lights you up from the inside. Like you’re full of Christmas lights. I could listen to you talk about Christmas for hours and not get bored.”I find myself leaning toward him, wanting to suck up his words as if I’m dry stone. The only person who’s ever liked to listen to me monologue about Christmas is Jo. And no one has ever, ever told me I’m lit up from the inside. I’ve always just been Anabelle, the quiet girl. Or sometimes Anabelle, the girl who doesn’t know how to shut up when she should. “Tell me more, Ryan. I want more.”
