Completions and Connections: A Romantic Holiday Novella

It's another new year, so that means another list of clichéd resolutions for me. Buy a pair of heels. Get a promotion. Fall in love. It should be simple for me, especially when I meet a man who could be Mr. Right. But man, life keeps interfering, and now I'm ready to throw in the towel. I'm not sure if even the magic of the Christmas season will renew my faith in love.
