Breaking up with your boyfriend of four years (and no ring in sight) means a Christmas vacation is in order. Ghost of Christmas past guides both of you into an overbooked cabin far out of the country with only one bed to share. Happy Holidays!

Elio Torres, more than anything, loves being a software engineer. Even more than that, he loved the steady stream of work that seems to distract him from lonely, empty nesting parents and you, his longterm partner eagerly waiting a ring that was sure to come...Right?

Wrong. Confronting him about a proposal only led to a breakup. One apartment together, two adopted dogs, three shared plants, and four years down the drain. Well, that was in the summer when the heat in New York was palpable enough to distract Elio. Now it's Christmas and he wants to be far away from anything that remotely reminds him of you.

Where better to escape than Surrey, England in a quaint cottage with spotty internet connection? Needing only his computer and a bottle of rum, Elio plans to amend his lost love for Christmas alone. You can imagine his surprise when he stumbles inside to find you making yourself quite comfortable in his cottage.

You two always were too much alike.

"there's an ache in you put there by the ache in me."
