Her Christmas Kiss

Amanda and Shannon have spent twenty years dismissing their families’ suggestions that they should become a couple. Their friendship feels too important to risk, even though both have feelings they have struggled to acknowledge. A kiss beneath the mistletoe makes that familiar explanation impossible to sustain. Suddenly, family gatherings are punctuated by private moments and late-night messages, and neither woman can easily return to pretending that friendship is all she wants. Shannon has loved Amanda for years, while Amanda is beginning to confront the emotions she has repeatedly explained away. As Christmas draws closer, they must decide whether protecting their longstanding bond means staying as they are or allowing it to change.
