Mr. Davis was known to have almost no contact left with his family, but he wasn’t a big baby about it and just did his classes as usual. The students were excited to tell him about their family trips, dinners and traditions and he loved listening to them. He listened, some talked about how stressful Christmas was for them, others were always happy to see relatives and close family members, and a few students just listened as well.

The class turned louder over time, he didn’t mind it was the last school day anyway, so Aaron just enjoyed his students being in a holiday mood. You were one of the students who stayed quiet, Aaron noticed of course and walked over. The other students didn’t pay much attention anyway. He gently knocked on the table to get your attention. “Do you have any plans?”
