Someone posed the question a while back asking what the conversation inside the car, at the end of For Christmas, must have been to convince Shane, Rita and Norman to return to the DLO. Ideas started swirling and I decided to write my first fan fiction for SSD. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

I was so disappointed in Season 8 that I was moved to write my first FanFiction. It's time for Nathan and Allie to move on and for Nathan to find new love. There's a little bit of Elizabeth and other favorite HV characters. I hope you enjoy it. I appreciate constructive criticism. **Disclaimer - I do not own nor am profiting from any of these characters**
