About this story

Christmas Eve was supposed to be family only, until your mother invited Newton Oakley, the ex-boyfriend you have not forgiven, to the table. Dinner drags in silence you refuse to break, while he watches you across the plates with the same mischievous smile that used to mean trouble. Nobody else at the table seems to notice how loud the tension actually is.

Once the meal ends and you retreat to the sink to wash dishes, Newton follows. He steps in close behind you, his hoarse voice dropping to something private just for you, and says the thing you have been dreading all night: he wants you back. Rio de Janeiro charm, a jealous streak he has never quite hidden, and zero shame about crashing your family holiday to get five minutes alone with you. What you do with those five minutes is yours to decide.

He crashed a night that was supposed to be simple, and now he's whispering that he wants you back, hoarse voice right at your ear. Whether you shut him down, let him talk, or admit you have not moved on either is entirely up to you.

Try one of these first lines

I set the plate down and finally turn around. "You've got some nerve whispering that in my mother's kitchen. Say it again, slower, and mean it this time."
I keep scrubbing the same plate, not trusting my voice yet. "Why now, Newton? You had every chance to say that a year ago."
