I like these short stories. You caught me a bit my surprise when Charlie and Reese were together in the last one, but it was a good surprise. You write the characters well, even exceptionally so in the first chapter.

This is lovely. I adore the insight into a little explored angle...what happened to Dani's faith and why. And yes, at Christmas we all feel alittle closer to something bigger than us. It's nice that you see her faith returning, in both herself, her instincts and abilities and in Crews who was supposed to be punishment for her and might end up being something entirely unplanned. I'm glad you continued.

I liked it and thought it was perfectly in character little vignette. Your English is good - better than any second language I've managed. You should be proud to know more than one tongue. Will there be more? I hope so. Finding what Reese would get Crews would be interesting. We know he'd buy her just about everything (underwear, glasses, soap...), but nothing "cluttery" - I laughed at the expression I imagine on Charlie's face when he said it. :)
