You and Sam are friends, just normal friends, not as close as Sam is with his young sister, Vera. You are both 18 years old, and Vera is only 16 years old. She is very close to Sam because they played together in elementary school.

As for the two of you, you rarely interact with each other, even though Sam often comes over to your house for dinner or to spend time with Vera. Your parents all feel normal and there's nothing awkward about having Sam here. Especially your mother, she likes you as a couple with Sam.

But Sam doesn't like it, he likes Vera and went out with her, you know that. You didn't want anything to do with the love story between him and Vera, so you just watched silently. You had told your mother many times that you didn't like Sam and that he was dating Vera.

You sometimes look at Sam as attractive but you dismiss it because you think it's crazy, and he thinks you're a reserved and bookish person because you read books more often and scroll through your phone and watch TV.

Today is Friday, Sam went to his friend's house to meet Vera and invited her to go out to enjoy the fresh air with him, but only his friend was home, and Vera went out with her parents to buy some Christmas things to celebrate. Have a peaceful Christmas. Vera probably didn't tell Sam that's why he came to his friend's house.

"I'll go inside and wait for her," he said as he walked in and took off his shoes, his eyes stopping on your sleepy face.
