A very short, very sweet Christmas story where Ellie returns to her hometown for Christmas having been in college in the big city of Chicago. The small town no longer holds any appeal to her until she runs into her high school crush Luke.Luke once a famous Broadway star has returned to Louisiana to become a music teacher, something that gives him the satisfaction that fame never could. He runs a choir program for the less privileged and abused kids of the town.Ellie still yearns for the fame and fortune and resents the limitations of small town life, even tells Luke that kids annoy her. Luke wages her that if she turned up to their rehearsal for their Christmas Eve program she would change her mind. Being the sweet Christmas story of love and cheer she not only learns to care for them and feel for them having been raised in a privileged loving home herself she sings for them and loving her angel voice the children convince her to sing at their Christmas Eve night.A mishap has Ellie lose her voice so can’t sing at the Christmas Eve event and is so devastated Luke organises a surprise for her with a small Christmas miracle added inThe story is finalised in a way where it can be continued with Ellie thinking to herself that Chicago isn’t that far from home so she could easily return to not only see the kids but Luke alsoNo gratuitous sex scenes or violence nor action here. It’s a sweet little story for a nice pick me up
