the monitors any time.”
Marshall slid his hand along her back and said softly, “My house is right outside.”
“And besides,” Delbert said loudly, as if he didn’t want to hear any of that. “I have to find a great venue, and that’ll take the sleigh. So get out.”
They didn’t have to be told twice. Julka took Marshall’s hand and led him out of the sleigh. They barely made it down the steps when the sleigh took off, displacing the snow, and sending a huge greasy waft of peppermint-colored exhaust into the air.
“Is that normal?” Marshall asked, looking at the red-and-white smoke glistening around them.
“None of this is normal,” Julka said.
“Oh, I don’t know,” Marshall said. “Men, women, kisses, soul mates. Seems normal enough to me.”
He wrapped his arms around her again.
She giggled. “I thought you didn’t believe in soul mates.”
“I didn’t believe in Santa either,” he said. “Yet somehow, you managed to change my mind. In an instant. On both things.”
Then he kissed her.
And kept kissing her as much as he could for the rest of their long, magical lives.
