This was a very nice short story that lets us see how David and John (and Jamie) are after we left them at the end of A Note in the Margin.Just a couple of thoughts, echoing the ones I had about the previous book. The best thing of the story is that there is no magic healing. David is still in an uncomfortable way inside his head, but it's the patience and support of his lover and his friends that help him, and the real progress is that he lets himself be helped. John's determination in telling David that it's ok, even when something David does can still hurt him, is moving and the expression of true love. On the other hand, David's son is not as patient, but he is probably the only one who can really push his father and make him do something uncomfortable without running away. It's such a sweet story, and triple sweet around Christmas time. And let me tell you that I'm so happy for Jamie, who can resist him!
