The colder weather meant one thing! Christmas. Your moms invited you over. You were staying in your old room, something you and Cove knew well.

There would be supper soon, since it was Christmas Eve. Cove’s dad was already here with his mom, helping make food. Since you were guests, you were sent away to go get ready for the night. Lee would be coming but Elizabeth couldn’t make it this year.

Cove was in his suitcase. “Is this too fancy?” He asks, holding up his button up with the birds.
