The Fresh-Baked Hope
a hardened heart
a small town
a homecoming
a festival
a countdown tree lighting
a mug of hot cocoa
a woman
a man
a spark
a new flame
an old flame
a sprig of mistletoe
a stupid mistake
a snowfall
a confession
a spat
a realization
a choice
a crackling fireplace
a changed heart
an apology
a promise
an embrace
a kiss
a hope for a happily ever after
a Hallmark Christmas movie
it’s not about the cookie-cutter plot
it’s all about the fresh-baked hope
