Madeline refused to let go of Ethan as we tried to leave our parent's house. We made the correct decision of packing all our bags and putting them into the car before stopping to say goodbye. Madeline was ready to leave for school.
"I don't want you to go!" She shouted and started to cry.
I knew my emotions were not capable of lasting long so I quickly hugged everyone and rushed back to the car. Ethan's emotional side was far stronger than mine. "Are you ok?" He asked, sliding into the car alongside me.
"I'm fine." I replied.
Today Ethan was wearing his piano tie I bought him for our first Christmas. The design of it is very self-explanatory, it was a sideways keyboard printed along the tie. "Is there anything you want for Christmas?" I asked to distract myself. I've decided to give him the letter from his Mum on Christmas Day. Anytime before then may affect his concentration towards his performance on Christmas Eve.
"I haven't given it much thought to be honest, ties are clearly essential, but you only need to buy me one or two. There's no point buying loads because it'll ruin the tradition." Ethan replied, peering out of the window.
"You must want something?"
Ethan wiggled his face. "I already have everything."
I scowled at him in sarcasm. "Stop turning into my Mum and tell me what you want."
"How about a holiday?" He responded quickly."
I thought for a second, "You already have a plane?"
He patted my knee, "Yeah, but the holiday still needs organising, doesn't it? The plane gets us to wherever we're going."
I nodded, "Ok." My mind began to wildly search for the perfect holiday destination. "I'll surprise you," I added.
"Perfect, thanks August."
