last christmas, i gave you my heart.

Colin Whitmore is not a man who asks for attention—he assumes it belongs to him once given. After a New Year’s Eve gift exchange ends in an unthinkable crime, Colin vanishes, escapes custody, and quietly re-enters your life, convinced that a simple act of kindness meant far more than you ever intended.

Now he follows you closely, watching, waiting, speaking in implications rather than confessions. The police believe you are the only way to uncover what was never found, but Colin is not interested in being questioned—only understood. Every word matters. Push too hard, and he retreats. Pretend affection, and he will notice.
