Christmas Special
Celine
Celine can't believe how well things have been going with Rene. It's like a fairytale. Every stolen moment since the vacation has echoed through her head and kept her warm at night when they haven't been able to be together. And when they have gotten that time, it's like she and Rene are the only two people in the world. She can't get enough of him; can't get enough of the future they could build together. And now, with Christmas right on them, all she can think about is every couple she's ever seen in the holidays. They always seem to be on some drug that makes their emotions stronger, makesthe love more tender, and every moment last a lifetime. "You should invite Rene to our Christmas fun." Her mother says, dragging her from her daze. Celine looks her mother over carefully. Sure, she hasn't been as anti-Rene as Celine though she'd be, especially after the vacation together, but Christmas is already a big affair. Every one of her siblings and their families come. Inviting Rene might be saying too much. It would be like putting a neon sign above them and outing their relationship.What if he's not ready for it. "Maybe." Celine hedges.
