over the holidays


Chapter One

      It was only December first but Vanessa Channing felt like it had been Christmas forever.

Then, seconds after the Halloween candy and superhero costumes had been slashed to half-price, the drugstore shelves were restocked with cobbling elves and icicle lights and Santas that jived to "Jingle Bell Rock" when you clapped your hands.
