A family man. A complicated family. A woman needing an out. A business proposition gone south. And an early holiday miracle that saves more than just Christmas…it saves a life…or two…or five.
She’s leaving. The only nanny that’s made any sort of impact on my family is walking straight out the door. I should be used to it. But something inside me stops her. Including the lump in my throat. It turns out that India has a heart. Which is more than I can say for most. We’ve seen more than our share of heartache, the kids and I, and this woman has accomplished what none have to date. But the real miracle will come in days, when my twin boys celebrate a birthday, Christmas-style, and an innocent twist of fate turns deadly. Can this family survive yet another tragedy? Or will we finally get a Christmas miracle?
***
Sure, moonlighting can go either way. I can kill myself to gain back what I lost from my last failed relationship, or I can sink to the depths of financial crisis like all the rest of us during Christmas. But I love what I do and helping this family turns out to be something worth far more than my hourly wage. Luke pays me an insane amount of money to look after his house and his children, but I’m learning that it’s Luke that also needs something. No, not that! Well, maybe…but I can’t deny that he’s the most caring, hard working, honest man I’ve ever met. And his eyes say it all. This man has hurt more than most, just like me, and as I pray that I can perform a Christmas miracle, just days before the big day, it soon becomes clear what I was put on this earth for. I’m just not sure if I’m on Santa’s Naughty or Nice list, and this time, it matters.
