She came for relaxation, but she found a family in crisis…
Mei Yamagawa's first vacation in years takes an unexpected turn when she and her boyfriend Yasahiro are forced to leave their luxurious hot springs resort. Stranded in a small guesthouse on New Year's Eve, Mei finds herself playing chauffeur to a cantankerous old woman with a chip on her shoulder.
What should have been a relaxing holiday becomes a crash course in family dysfunction as Mei contends with the bitter old woman's cutting remarks and unreasonable demands. But when Mei rescues a confused elderly lady from the streets, she uncovers a tangled web of family secrets and long-held resentments that threaten to boil over.
Can Mei salvage her ruined vacation, help a fractured family heal, and still find time to ring in the New Year with Yasahiro? Or will old resentments and buried secrets spoil more than just her holiday plans?

Praise
“I had fun reading this novella and it made me look forward even more to the next book. This novella tells a day in the life of Mei and Yasahiro. They have a vacation planned on new year's eve, but things don't go as planned. there are some difficult moments for these tow, but also some happy and uplifting ones. I felt this story really shows both their personalities. I felt bad for them for what they had to go through, but I did like how the story ended with a happy and unfitting scene. All in all this novella is a nice little extra for fans of the series. ” – Lola, Lola's Reviews
