Cards, Curses, and Christmas Miracles
Querying now
Leila has been cursed when it comes to love. Simon has been detached from the world since a family tragedy. But a tarot card reading and a series of chance encounters could change their fortunes by Christmas.
“I’m just being honest. Leila has needed to lose weight all her life. I just want her to be healthy.”
I clenched my lips together. I was a patient person, but this lady was not making it easy to keep my temper in check. “You’re not being honest, you’re being cruel. So please, don’t do that.”
“I don’t think you have any right to tell me how to speak to my daughter. Who even are you? You’ve been dating her for what, a month? And you think you know her?”
Leila’s arm wrapped around my waist. “Simon, it’s okay. Really.”
I kissed her head and spoke to her as if her mother were not sitting there, waiting for me to respond. “I’m going to let it go only because you want me to. Otherwise, I would never let someone talk to you like that, no matter who they are.” I kissed her again and said, “You are perfect exactly as you are.”
