So my neighbors were having a yardsale this
weekend (same
neighbors I wrote 'Hold on to Him' about) and the
mother (her actual name is Linda) was talking to me and
she's probably the sweetest lady ever. She's still
devastated over the loss of her son, which was 15 years ago. He
would've been 30 this year and honestly I feel so awful for
the family. Anyways, her other son (Ian, who's 28 and the
main character in 'Hold on to Him') came outside and
he's so gorgeous and cute and we were talking and Linda
goes "Christina, if you were a little older I'd set
you two up to get married!" and Ian and I laughed it off
but on the inside I was like "These people don't know
I wrote an entire story about my fantasies with their
son..."
