Although a short story, Trim My Tree had a nice slow build. The story revolves around Maggie hosting the annual trim a tree party at her house. One year ago Maggie’s partner cheated on her and she is single after many years. Maggie’s friend, Carla, invites one of her employees, Jo, to the party. Jo is originally from the area and has returned to work as a master carpenter for Carla. The attraction between Maggie and Jo is immediate with looks and touches exchanged during the party. The rest of the short story describes their first date. I’d actually like to see this short story continue into something a little longer as we get to know Maggie and Jo more.
