A Calm Before the Storm

This is just a sweet little side story taking place during their Christmas after the 2nd book. This being a series about hauntings, I fully expected something to be wrong with the violin since it's mentioned how notably old it is by James in the very first sentence but... nope. It's just a violin and this is just a normal Christmas. James does get the money working for Preston's aunt doing odd jobs and helping in a seance but that's really the only supernatural element. William's addiction is getting a little grating and I feel sorry for James but that's love, I guess.
