Sorry, I'm a bit late today.

Today's story is Join the Queue by Lizzie.

Today I went to the Post Office to post the last of my Christmas parcels and I really know how Bodie feels. He wants to be good and take Doyle's parcel through the Post Office to post it and... well, go and read it and you will understand what I mean. To try and post a parcel with unknown content inside isn't really easy ten days before Christmas, so it must be love, mustn't it?

It's one of my "every-year-read". Glad you like it too.

Oh, yes! I'm actually smiling at the sight of your chosen story and author! I love Lizzie and I love this story so thanks for the reminder.

I'm very happy I could make you smile. It is one of my all-time favourites as well.

Aww 💌 I'm such a sucker for Doyley's soft voice ^____^

Oh, I remember this one! It's absolutely charming :-)))) (and yes, the reader sees so much more clearly than Bodie does himself how in love he is; it's a great instance of show-don't-tell, so beautifully showing without having to spell something out *g*
