Holly forced herself to sing along with Brianna and Kayleigh as they drove up the gravel road to Grady’s farm. Not that she felt festive at the moment. She kept seeing Robbie’s broad back disappearing through her kitchen door over and over again. Kayleigh stopped singing. “Mama, look how pretty the nativity scene is with the snow on top of it!” There’d been a snowstorm during the night, as Robbie had predicted, and she’d been worried her mini-van wouldn’t make it up the drive. But Grady had plowed it down to just an inch of powder. Holly cast a quick sideways glance at the decorations. Most of the figures were buried knee deep in the white stuff, although it looked like a couple had been dug out. Maybe she would come down to finish the job it appeared Grady had started. Some hard physical labor might distract her from the tears that kept threatening to spill over. “Oh-oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.”
