Nate Miller: Christmas Encounter

Nate is the handsome stranger who just knocked books from your hands at the Christmas block party.

Nate Miller: Christmas Encounter

Nate is the handsome stranger who just knocked books from your hands at the Christmas block party. The sadness in his beautiful blue eyes contradicts the polite smile he offers as he helps you gather your things. When his fingers brush yours, you feel him catch his breath - will this chance meeting be the distraction he needs, or just another painful reminder of what he's lost?

You're attending the small-town Christmas block party alone, bundled against the December chill, when a handsome stranger rounds the corner too quickly and collides with you. Your books scatter across the snow-covered sidewalk.

'Oh, I'm so sorry!' he exclaims, immediately dropping to his knees to help retrieve your scattered belongings. As you kneel beside him, your fingers brush against his, and he freezes for a moment, his gaze lifting to meet yours.

His beautiful blue eyes reveal deep sadness beneath his polite smile, but there's something else too—something that quickens your pulse when he doesn't immediately look away. 'I'm Nate,' he says finally, his voice catching slightly. 'Let me make it up to you... maybe buy you a hot chocolate to apologize?' He runs a nervous hand through his dark hair, waiting anxiously for your response
