BLURB:
It’s the eve of Alvin’s favorite holiday—the little-known St. Nick’s Day. His devoted boyfriend, woodworker Milo, has been planning for months to make it a day neither of them will forget, and their peaceful annual nighttime walk will pale in comparison to what Milo has secreted away in the basement.
A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2019 Advent Calendar “Homemade for the Holidays.”
REVIEW:
Alvin and Milo have been together for a number of years. They have a lovely home together and they have a history. They’ve been so happy and have weathered some difficult times. But above all, they have a strong love and happy relationship. As they prepare for their favorite holiday evening, we get to look back over their years and the beautiful memories they have. But Milo wants to make some new memories and he’s made a very special gift for Alvin – one that will take their relationship even further.
This is truly a beautiful and sweet story. I just loved the relationship between Milo and Alvin. Milo always wants to care for Alvin. The years of history that we get to witness in this gorgeous short story perfectly capture the love between these two and how deeply attuned they are. The gift is beautiful and meaningful as well. This kind of reminded me of an O. Henry story. Beautifully done! Enjoy 🙂
