RICHARD".... And a partridge in a pear treeee..."Michael conducting, singing by rounds, we finish singing The Twelve Days of Christmas. "Don't know about you," says James, "but I'm pruning up. What's say we get out and dressed and settle by the fire again?"Sounds good to me....Michael jumps out of the tub, grabbing a robe. "I'll dash ahead and give the fire a boost."The rest of us return to the lounge to find the hearth burning brightly and Michael stacking a fresh supply of logs to the side.Charlotte passes me a paper hat from the crackers. I feel a bit of a fool, but James' gaze and mine meet. Wordlessly....Fools together........ we each put one on.Who cares?It's worth it to see her smile...Charlotte has that 'faraway' look as she stares into the fire, her mouth curving."So how is your first real Christmas going so far, Charlotte?" I ask.She says nothing, simply flashing white teeth to me then turning away....Going teary?Elizabeth tugs at

Our final night. Tomorrow it's back to the airport and the return home. We sit together in what passes for a tea-room in Helsinki, looking out of the window over the square. Mitch flips through a tourist guide. I kiss the hollow of her collarbone where, around her neck, are the emeralds I gave her. "Thank you for wearing them."She turns those eyes on me, deep, deep green; lambent. "They're beautiful. Thank you for giving them to me.""Not as beautiful as you."She sucks at her lip then nods out to the snow-covered square. "It's a lovely statue. It says here..." She holds up the tourist guide... "... that she's called 'The Mermaid' but she looks like a woman to me.""She has a lot of names. 'Merenneito', the Mermaid is what the artist called her. But she's usually called 'Havis Amanda'."She looks briefly at the guide again. "It says too, that students put a cap on her during some festival called 'Vappu'. It must be quite a climb for them."I huff a laugh. "That's not al

MICHAELJames rolls the razor over the line of jaw to neck, angling in the mirror to see the result."You've got it all," I say. "Bloody nuisance for you having to shave as often as you do."He harrumphs, then, "Maybe I should grow a beard." He looks himself left then right in the mirror. "What do you think?""It's not my opinion you should ask." I cock my head towards the door."Mmmm." He runs a finger from chin to ear, sucking in his cheeks. "How is she?""Pretty hyper. I'm beginning to wish I'd not told her about the address; checked it out first myself. I could easily have found a different Christmas gift if I tried... If we get there and don't find anything. If her mother's moved or died...""Worst scenario..." says James, "No-one's heard of her at all. No-one knows anything. Anything else is at least a step forward.""Yes, but that's really why I wanted you to come along too. If it's bad news, I can't drive and hold her hand too..."Charlotte bounces into the ro

The bar is still dressed for Christmas, but at the far side of the room a girl is taking down green and red foil decorations from a tree while a man in blue overalls reaches from the top of a ladder with a screwdriver, fiddling in an electric box, looking back as coloured lights flicker on then off again.Behind the bar, Angelo is doing his 'forever work' of polishing glasses..."What'll it be, Larry?" He reaches towards the bottles..."Just a coffee. It's a bit early.""Coming up."To the hiss of steam from the kitchenette, Frank arrives, briefcase in hand."Hi, Larry. Happy New Year." He glances at his wrist. "Not late am I?""Not at all. I just arrived myself."As we seat ourselves, Angelo arrives with my coffee. "What are you having, Frank?""I'll have a beer. Thanks, Angelo." He lays the briefcase on the coffee-table starting to click it open..."Not just now." I nod towards the door.He follows my gaze, frowning as he puts the case to one side and Mitch sash

MICHAELMy wife.I've still not become used to saying those words, but I love playing them in my head.My wife...For all the ups and downs of life; my family, with Ben and his attitude, Charlotte's family, trying to find it anyway... between ourselves, everything is fine...More than fine.Whatever it takes, we're there for each other.I look beyond her to where James lies, eyes closed, his face calm.At least he doesn't have that set of problems....... any more...Charlotte lies on her side, facing away but with her back pressed close against my chest. Charlotte is by no means a small woman, but nonetheless, she seems made to fit under the nook of my arm.One arm draped over my treasure, I twine a finger through a stray lock of hair, holding it to my face, inhaling.Is she asleep?Her breathing is soft and steady, a gentle movement of her body. Beyond her, James lies, eyes closed, his chest on a regular rise and fall.Just having her so close is enough; h

JAMESMichael grins, displaying white teeth against his tan. His gaze fixed on her face for a moment, then his eyes drop as he watches himself soft-fucking her.How close is she?Not far off...I press in a little harder, rub a little harder and her head flings back in a wide-mouthed wail. Michael lurches. "Christ, James! Take it easy. You're making her clench..."Is that right?I rub again at the same spot. She sings. He grunts. "Come on, slacken off a bit. I'm trying not to..."I keep rubbing..."Ah, fuck it!" And he pitches forward onto his hands, hips juddering against hers. My shaft quivering as I watch, her wail morphs to a scream and at the same moment, he pulls her to himself, burrowing into her as they climax together.Holy crap...They lie entwined, both red-faced, heaving and sweating. After a good minute, Michael's eyes open, drift mine.He kisses into her neck. "I believe," he says, "that your Master would like your mouth around his cock."A hazy

I want to see her.I *want* to see her...... to touch her...Surprise her maybe?*****I press the buzzer.No response...I press again. This time there's the sound of movement from beyond, the scrape of metal at the peephole, then the door opens."Larry, I wasn't expecting you." She's casually dressed and wears no make-up."I thought I'd surprise you." She doesn't look entirely pleased. "You don't mind, do you?""No, of course not." But her voice wavers. "What are you looking at?""I've never seen you dressed like that before."She glances down at her plain white tee-shirt and cut-off pants. "If you turn up out of the blue, you have to take me as you find me.""Fair enough." I start to laugh, but the laugh is stillbornThat damn necklace...I reach, touching the silver butterfly that dangles by the hollow of her neck.Conners' gift..."I give you emeralds and you're wearing this fairground trinket?"Her hand rises to finger the bauble. "Emeralds ar

JAMESWe head for the house.Charles. Chad... says nothing, but as I gesture him through to the lounge, Michael and Charlotte following, he swirls around, gives an apologetic nod to Michael, then sweeps Charlotte into his arms, bear-hugging her."God, Jenny, you're here. You're safe." He swings her back and forth. "I tried so hard to find you before they did, but you just vanished and yet here you are...." He stands back, holding her hand, his gaze openly admiring. "And look at you... You look fantastic."Charlotte casts apologetic eyes at Michael then her gaze hovers over mine... She's tense, picking at her fingernails.Nervous?Of my reaction?Perhaps...... before she replies. "So do you, Chad. You've, um, filled out rather since I last saw you."Set her mind at rest...I step forward, offering my hand. "I know Michael introduced us before, but it became a bit confused, didn't it. I'm James. It's good to see Charlotte finding her old friends again."Charlotte
