'Twas The Night Before Christmas

We spent Christmas eve at work. Like most employees on board, Denver and I wished we were at home, celebrating with our son on Christmas.

Denver and I sat next to each other like most work nights. At twelve midnight, we kissed each other as expected. And then he did the unexpected. He put out his hand and revealed our rings.

The ring that I returned to him months ago, and the ring that he removed from his finger after I refused to take back mine.

He slipped the ring on my finger. He gestured so that I can put his ring on his finger. I couldn't keep the tears from falling. I never thought he would give it back to me after everything that happened, and after refusing to take it back from him many times.

My Christmas eve in the office wasn’t so bad after all. I am happy. I don’t want to think about when this feeling will end as of this time.
