As the Minnesota temperatures plummet, Amber faces Christmas and a long cold winter with no one but her grandma’s ornery black lab to keep her company. A chance encounter on a treacherous country road brings Amber face-to-face with a yummy man, guaranteed to melt the icicles in her heart.This delightfully sweet short story is the perfect confection to savor over a cup of holiday cocoa. Sparkling humor enlivens this tale of tender romance, and you cannot help but cheer Amber’s transition from longing and frustration to hope and happily-ever-after.Another heartwarming read from Christine Columbus!

I went to a Singles Dance....
... Saturday night with Mary and her friend Sally from Buffalo.
I don’t dance, so I came prepared not to dance in jean, t-shirt and rubber soled clogs. So, I’m sitting at a table with my friends, enjoying the music and watching everyone else dance.
A guy comes over to the table, “Would you like to dance East Coast Swing?”
“I don’t know how to dance.”
He reaches out his hand, “I’ll teach you.”
We dance (and I use that term loosely) in front of the band. I can’t hear a word he’s saying – so I smile and nod. Toward the end of the song he moves closer to me and I hear, “Have you ever been bit?”
My heart is pounding and I thought I was nervous before. What a weirdo. Will my friends hear me if I scream. Is there a full moon? Does he think he’s a vampire?
I take a deep breath and smile as my rational mind takes hold. –he must have meant bitten by the dancing bug.
He holds me tighter, starts to lean me backwards, my foot comes off the floor, my clog just about goes flying off, I’m struggling to stay upright - my body stiffens – my only thought is as soon as I get me feet under me – I sprinting to the door.
His eyebrows drop to the bridge of his nose the corner of his lips twitches, “I guess you don’t dip on the first date.”
“Oh dipped.”
