Synopsis

It's an icy, snowy Christmas Eve and also the anniversary of the accident that killed Cameron Jackson's husband, but despite his old fears of losing those he loves creeping in, he's determined that things will be different this year. He's been in a relationship with Jason Everson for a year, and along with Cam's daughter, Emma, and their dog, Deefur, they've created a new family. Cam has decided to propose, but with the unexpected commotion of having to rush Deefur to the vet, can he find the right words and the right time to make it happen? And will Jason say yes?

Review

Deefur and the Great Mistletoe Incident is a short story sequel to Deefur Dog that takes place about one year later. Cameron and Jason are in love and have settled in to life together with Cam's daughter, Emma, and their big goofy Great Dane, Deefur. However, with the anniversary of his husband's death in a car accident upon them, Cam is feeling anxious. The old fears of losing those he loves most are haunting him, but Jason is nothing but compassionate and understanding. Those fears are only compounded when Deefur's penchant for eating anything he can get his paws on sends them on an unexpected trip to the vet on Christmas Eve. Cam had been planning to propose to Jason for Christmas, but with everything going on, he struggles to find just the right moment.

Deefur and the Great Mistletoe Incident is a sweet little follow-up story for Cam and Jason that's almost like an extended epilogue. It was nice seeing that these two men have created a beautiful family life. Even though Cam's old fears still dog him, he manages to work through them. I like that he included Emma in his decision to propose to Jason, making sure she was okay with it. Deefur may have given them a bit of a scare but all's well that ends well. I enjoyed this little short that really stamped paid to Cam and Jason's relationship. Deefur and the Great Mistletoe Incident can be found in the newest edition of Deefur Dog as a bonus short story.
