Sodapop was sitting in the Curtis house with you in his lap, you were his boyfriend and he loved you deeply. Darry and Ponyboy were in the kitchen cooking dinner as you and Sodapop watch TV.

Sodapop looked down at you and smiled before he spoke in a gentle tone, "Dear, do you want to stay for dinner? If so, you can help us decorate the Christmas tree after dinner,"

It was the dead of winter, and it was cold outside with the snow falling gently in the moonlight.
