this short story has class differences, enemies to lovers, long term pining, a prank that believably exposes true feelings, teasing, a ruse with a Christmas goose, a Very Good Mom, and jokes about coal for gifts
takes 30-40 minutes to read and is a delight

All the stars are for Nora. She rules.
Dash does make quite the grand gesture and he’s convincing enough but he can’t compare to her.

A super spy invades a Christmas Eve gala to find the woman he loves, whose heart he broke a year ago.
He’s got reasons. She’s rightfully pissed (and even points a gun at him). They have one night to talk, kiss, argue, make love, run away, plan,have an extremely romantic “wedding,” keep their secret, and, of course, they eventually get their HEA.

This was a super cute, short, fun read. Even though it’s a novella it takes place over several years so you get to see these two catch feelings and grow up a little together.
I love Eliza’s character arc. She’s very young when the book starts but already wise and gets wiser as the story progresses.
Harry makes incredibly selfish and juvenile choices throughout the story but makes a fool of himself begging for her in the end which I LOVE.
Narrator is great.
