It didn't bother me much since it wasn't as melodramatic or overdone (i.e., the lady doth protest too much) as some romances I've read. So the "tension" is just the heroine almost deliberately misinterpreting his interest for some vague fear that he's not saying he wants to try their relationship again he's just saying he'd like to be friends now that they've reconnected. In this case, the hero thinks of the heroine as "the one who got away" and almost immediately starts letting her know he wants to rekindle their relationship. ![]() The "second chance" trope is an easy way around that. Novellas and short stories in romance are tricky beasts because you don't get a lot of time to set up the romance and the characters. ![]() Who could resist a Christmas story about a woman who saves an adorable kitten (that she names Mistletoe) and ends up reconnecting with the vet who broke her heart years ago?
