CHRISTMAS WITH THE BECKETTS. It’s not silent—and it’s far from holy. James and Scarlett’s dirty weekend in Edinburgh is hot enough to scorch the snow. Caelon and Ivy are caught canoodling under the Christmas tree. Sean and Layla are shopping for very adult Christmas toys. Rebekka and...

I never asked for his name. And I certainly didn’t tell him mine. It was supposed to be simple. No strings attached. Except I came home with a plus one… in my stomach.
