  When Angela and Chance’s eyes opened, and a little light filtered between their bodies, Angela saw relief plain and clear on all the faces beaming their approval. His family and hers—including Jason—were instrumental in putting more than her place back together again. They also provided the expectation for new and wonderful things to happen in the upcoming months.

  Chanté chanted. “One! Two! Three!”

  “Surprise!” They shouted in unison.

  Angela’s gratitude filled her to bursting as she ran around hugging each and every one of her visitors. From that moment, laughter and good eats highlighted a spectacular time well into the night. The loving couple beamed in contentment as Chance leaned on the counter and enfolded Angela backwards into his chest. He nestled his chin in her hair, activating his physical response to private thoughts.

  Angela squirmed as she tossed a devious grin over her shoulder.

  Now, both scoped out the happenings across her living room as colored lights blinked in syncopated fashion. The holiday spirit on exhibition was no match for the thrill of their new love. Angela and Chance knew of no better gift than to see the old year out in the company of loved ones. Molded together, neither could anticipate a greater ecstasy than ringing in the New Year in each other’s arms as Chance’s stealthy move slipped his trademark between his teeth.
