By Karrie Roman

A Holiday Sequel to Saved

With their nightmare at the hands of a serial killer behind them, Jack and Will are determined to give each other a perfect Christmas. As the countdown to the big day begins, life continues on with all its little ups and downs, laughs and tears, as Jack searches for the perfect gift and Will makes plans that will change everything for them.

Surrounded by friends and family Will and Jack do their best to have the kind of normal, loving Christmas neither of them has experienced in a long, long time. No matter what kind of Christmas they have, though, they both understand that as long as they are together the day will be perfect.

When the big day arrives, Jack receives a gift from Will he never thought possible, one he didn't even know he wanted and the last gift he will ever need.

She dreams of one day living in the wettest and coldest habitable place she can find.

IT’S JUST NOT right, Will, Jack grumbled.

Will watched him, doing his best to hide a smile, as Jack sorted through their combined decorations. Neither of them had many. Will, because he’d rarely even thought of Christmas in the past, much less celebrate it. And Jack, for a similar reason, according to him.

Here they were, standing before the eight-foot tree they’d bought with only a handful of ratty decorations to adorn it.

We could get more, Will suggested.

Oh we’re getting more. Shops will still be open, Jack said glancing at his watch. Let’s go.

We could go tomorrow. It’s the weekend, Will suggested. He was much more comfortable leaving the house these days, but it was almost 8.00 pm and the shops shut at 9.00 o’clock. He didn’t want to be one of those last minute customers.

Will Blaikie. Jack shook his head as though thoroughly disgusted. The Christmas tree goes up on December first. That’s the rule.

But why? Will couldn’t help himself sometimes. He wasn’t used to being so comfortable with another person to be able to take the piss out of them, but he loved doing it with Jack.

I don’t make the rules, Will. I just follow them, Jack sniffed as if that settled it. He reached for his keys and stalked toward the front door. Apparently, these Christmas rules were serious business. Maybe he thought Santa wouldn’t come to him if he broke them.

And besides, Jack continued, I am not brave enough to hit the stores on a Saturday a few weeks before Christmas. Jack shuddered as though the idea terrified him.

Will tried—and failed—to keep the smile from his face as he followed Jack out of the house. He was the bravest man Will knew, so Jack being afraid of Christmas shoppers seemed improbable.

Fifteen minutes later, they were in the Christmas trim department of their local Myers. The display trees looked so beautiful; it was going to be hard to choose which decorations to go with. Will reached out and slid his fingers through blue-and-silver tinsel. He looked up and caught Jack watching him with something akin to horror on his face.

You do know the Christmas colours, right? Jack asked.

Christmas colours? No, he really didn’t think he did know them, but from Jack’s expression, he thought it best not to confirm that out loud. Um…refresh my memory?

"Red, green, and gold. Please god, tell me you’re not one of those
