Christmas Advent
Chapter 1-December 1st
Mike smiled as soon as he pulled into his driveway. He had bought a farmhouse that he was slowly renovating when he wasn't working. It occupied his off hours and gave him something to looking forward to. Coming home was not always easy and he was always on call as Admiral of the Fleet, but he needed a fixed address for his own sanity.
He locked his truck and walked up onto the porch. At his doorstep, there was a small package. He had not ordered anything and his friends usually gave him things at work. His address was a closely guarded secret. He picked it up and carried it inside. He should take it into work to be scanned and checked, but curiosity got the best of him. He opened it and found a package of cookies and a note, which he opened immediately. He didn't recognize the handwriting at all, and it looked like it belonged to a younger person.
"This is our version of a Christmas advent calendar. Enjoy your cookies and look forward to your treat."
Mike looked at the note and the cookies for a moment. They did look familiar and so he took a chance and bit into one. It was oddly familiar. The handwriting was bubbly and feminine and he was intrigued. What would the next day hold?
