The Islands in the Bay – Chapter (031) Christmas Morning

 

Molly was awake early on Christmas Morning and made sure that Danny was awake too, she wanted to make the most of every minute of their first Christmas Day together.

“Merry Christmas Darling” Molly said as she kissed her lover awake.

“Merry Christmas” he replied sleepily, and they cuddled up close.

“This is really nice” he said and then Molly started nibbling his ear.

“Oh, it’s that kind of Happy Christmas” he said.

It was fortunate that Molly had woken so early because they needed to get dinner started and the bird in the oven before getting ready for church.

The present opening wasn’t until after lunch as per Molly’s tradition.

 

It was a cold grey morning, and the snow showed no sign of thawing, and if anything, it was more difficult to walk on than it had been the night before, but they made it to St Clara’s for the Christmas morning service on time and Reverend Arielle Nicolas welcomed them warmly as they arrived.

 

After the Christmas worship they walked slowly back to the cottage for lunch, and it started snowing again, and by the time they got home it was falling fast.

“You know what this means?” Danny said.

“No, what?” she asked innocently.

“It means we get to spend boxing day on our own as well” he replied.

“Oh goodie” she retorted “And we don’t need to get dressed.”
