I’ve never made a Christmas wish, but if I could, I’d ask Santa for a Daddy who understands me.

I learned early on in life that gentle hands and friendly smiles can hide darkness underneath. I shy away from cuddles and hugs and refuse to let anyone get too close to me. It’s safer if they stay away and I don’t mind putting up as many barriers as I can to keep everyone out of my space.

When Scott walks into The Red Door nightclub on the one night of the week I let myself be who I really am inside, everything changes. I’m drawn to his kindness, but his patience and understanding are what shine through the most. Scott promises me a Christmas like I’ve never seen before and I want to believe in the joy of mistletoe kisses, hot chocolate by the fireplace and the warmth that comes from just being near him, but it all seems to good to be true.

Is Scott just another Grinch coming to snatch away everything I love or will he prove to be the Daddy of my dreams?
