Can a couple on the verge of divorce find romance again during their last Christmas holiday at Holly Hill Inn?"I can't do this, Will. I can't fake my way through the holidays just to make our families happy. We both know our happily-ever-after is a farce.""You could if you tried, Ava. It's not that difficult to be nice to each other. We used to do it all the time.""We used to be in love, Will.""We still could be."Ava stared at him. "What are you saying? You want to call off the divorce?""I'm saying that I don't think we are through, Ava. Not yet." Will and Ava Cohen were wildly in love-five years ago. Today, they are ships passing in the night, two professionals driven to reach the pinnacle of their professions. When Will steps in the door of their restored brownstone in Brooklyn each evening, Ava is already on stage at the Gershwin, playing the role of Glinda in
Wicked. They are calling their marriage quits-but not until they spend one more Christmas holiday together with their families at Holly Hill Inn. Traditionally, the family arrives in New York, and they all take the Christmas train to Dickens together. Will and Ava plan to share their news on the train ride back home.
That was the plan, anyway.
As the Christmas spirit of Dickens and Holly Hill Inn spins around them, Ava and Will begin to look at each other differently, and both wonder if they've been too hasty in deciding to divorce. Have they really thought this separation through? But the train is about to leave the station, and they are unsure if they can halt it-or if they should.
Will this really be their last Christmas at Holly Hill Inn?
