Christmas Eve:

A Romantic Holiday Story

Mrs. Macy, I say, standing from the table and greeting her as the hostess leads her to our corner booth.

Please, she says, shaking my hand enthusiastically. Call me Eve.

Eve it is, I nod as we sit down across from each other in the cozy leather booth.

She’s in her late-50s, a single gray streak running through her auburn hair, lively green eyes behind rectangular black frames. She’s worn a pair of charcoal slacks and a maroon sweater with a softer, lighter purple scarf wound around her neck.

All in all, my very first impression is more classy lady than spinster on a budget. So maybe this will be worth my time, after all.

Have you ever been here before? I ask, nodding toward the blinking Christmas trees in every corner and flickering candles on every table and waitresses in frilly white bonnets
