\"A<\/a>This is a novella \/ short story set a year or so after the end of The Weight of It All<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It’s just a cute story of Henry throwing an elaborate Christmas Eve party for their friends. Unlike the original story, we do get a peek into Reed’s thoughts (Reed’s POV would not have worked well for the way that story went).<\/p>\n

It’s just a cute little happy story.<\/p>\n

Reed played perfect host while I prepared the fish. I\u2019d ground down some salt and spices with lemon rind in my mortar and pestle and set about rubbing that into the silvery skin. I faced the fish away from me so its beady little judgemental eyes stared at the wall.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Definitely not for someone who hasn’t read The Weight of It All<\/em> but a sweet, brief, escape.
