Julia I stand back and watch Riley and Nina put the final touches on the Christmas tree, and then he pulls out a Christmas angel to sit on the top. "Would you like to put this on the top of the tree, Princess?" Nina is still bouncing on her toes. I swear the girl hasn’t stopped since she found out that we had the tree.

I studied her closely, searching for a crack, something, anything. I had never seen her wear red lipstick before, never. And now that she did, it suited her perfectly. Bold, fierce, and alluring in a way that made it impossible to look away. “Seems like we don’t need much introduction,” Brooke said lightly. “Not at all, Your Majesty,” Elena replied smoothly. “Lisa is my daughter’s best friend. It might interest you to know that she spent her Christmas holiday with us, nursing her heartbreak. You know, we’re very accommodating, even though she’s human. My daughter didn’t mind.”

“SANTA CAME! There are PRESENTS! SO MANY PRESENTS!” “Charlotte, it’s 5:30 in the morning. Can Santa’s presents wait until 7?” Damien tried to negotiate. “NO! Presents are for NOW! Santa delivered them NOW!” James appeared moments later, equally excited. “PRESENTS! James want presents NOW!” They gave up on additional sleep. The entire household gathered in the living room—grandparents emerging in robes, everyone watching children open presents with enthusiastic chaos. Charlotte’s gift-opening was methodical reading tags, opening carefully, examining each gift before moving to the next. James’s approach was demolition ripping paper wildly, briefly acknowledging the gift, immediately moving to

On Christmas Eve, I finally dragged myself out to beg for food. The giant screen outside the mall was blasting headlines about Leon and Chloe. Apparently, to welcome Chloe to the family estate, Leon had dropped a ridiculous amount of money lighting up the entire city. Everything would go off at midnight. Under the screen, a kind shop owner handed me a bread roll. I scarfed it down, thanking him again and again. Didn't matter that I stayed tucked in a corner. Security still came over and chased me off. Night fell. My whole body shook as the last bit of warmth drained out of me.

"I'm back with Taren." Taren extended his hand. "It's nice to see you again." "The pleasure is mine," Mr. Cummings replied, shaking his hand. "What can I do for you today?" Taren glanced over at Kiki and then turned back to the man who looked so much like Santa Claus. "Christmas presents." "Christmas is over," he replied. Taren nodded, his lips curling into a smile. "Yes, but we didn't get to celebrate properly, so we're going to make up for it tonight."

That was weird because he had a look in his eyes that she didn't understand. Daniel noticed. “You good? Who's that?” He asked as he got in. “Yeah,” she said. “That’s my colleague. Dr. Davy.” He glanced at the gift bag she was holding. “He came bearing gifts, huh?” She laughed. “It’s Christmas.” “Well,” Daniel said, smiling, “now I need to up my game.” “It’s not a competition,” she said. “You think so?” “I know so.” He started the car. “We’re going skating first. The movie is in three hours.”

“You don’t have to eat that. I’ll bring you some biscuits.” Then, Mom turned to me with a cold look. “Next time, do it properly. Or you will be punished. And after breakfast, you’re helping me prepare for the Christmas dinner. Your aunt Carol, her husband and their three kids are all coming.” I felt something sink inside me. I nodded slowly. “Yes, Mom.” Elena smirked behind her cup of juice. She looked pleased....like ruining my morning was her favorite part of the day. Suddenly, my phone rang in my pocket. The sound made me jump. Everyone turned to look at me.

- For the last time, Derek! Santa Claus won't arrive until later, when you and your sister are sleeping. Now get back here! Missy laughed as she watched Diana gently scold her son, making the little boy walk back to where they were with his shoulders hunched, walking away from the window and the snowy nightscape outside. Sitting around the living room, next to the beautifully decorated Christmas tree, all the adults of the Knight family continued to exchange their Christmas presents, while the children, even sleepy, still hadn't given up on seeing Santa Claus before their time. to sleep. Eleanor, for example, hugging Rey and sitting near one of the sofas, welcomed her brother with an encoura

When she came back into the house she was grinning from ear to ear. Zach had filled two coffee mugs and he handed done to her. "Good news, I take it." Maddie nodded. "It seems they've managed to work out problems from the last ten years too. And neither of them will be home until tomorrow." "That's Christmas Eve," Zach reminded her. "Maddie, I don't even have a present for you." She held out her left hand, admiring the sparkle of the ring. "I've got the only presents I want. This ring and you."

Once everyone had one, including Olivia and Knox who looked really confused, did she clap her hands. "Okay open." All at once everyone ripped into their present, wrapping paper flying. Once I had mine open I looked inside and shook my head. Beside me Knox pulled his out just as I did. Holding it out in front of me I saw the ugliest sweater. It was black, green, and red with snowflakes and little christmas trees all over it. Putting it down I pulled out the red and black plaid PJ bottoms. I looked over at Knox and Olivia. Olivia was grinning widely and I could see her eyes were a little glassy. Knox just stared at his like he was unsure what it was for. Mom must have seen their faces for she
