-You have to stop being so formal!

-I'm just being polite.

-We're way past that. You can talk freely...

-Ok, then. I'll try again: Hi Felicity!

-Much better! Hi! You're not bothering me, no. I just had dinner with my dad and now I'm in my room

-Did you have a nice flight? 

-Yes! Thanks for asking! How was your day?

-Quiet...Everyone is gone for the holidays, so I was alone at my office.

-Don't you think you deserve some vacation too?

-Nuh...I'm good! I like how quiet everything is this time of year...

-Are you a grinch or something?

-A what?

-A grinch! The movie? With the green creature!

-I have no idea whatsoever!

-OMG! You have to see it! It's called "How the grinch stole Christmas" It's so great! I watch it every year on Christmas day with my dad!

-I'll check it out...

-You won't be disappointed! But why don't u like Christmas?

- I didn't say I don't like Christmas! I just like peace and quiet...

-So, you're just sitting alone in the house eating and drinking by yourself?

-Pretty much, yeah...

-That's sad...don't you have friends?

-Of course I do! But they have families and they're spending the holidays together and I don't want to bother them...

-Hey, if they're really your friends, you won't bother them! That's what friends are for!

- You may be right. So, what about you? Do you like Christmas?

-I used to love them a lot! But then my mom died and they're a little miserable ever since...

-I'm sorry, I didn't know...

-It's ok, it's been too long! There's just a weird vibe every year that just doesn't let us celebrate fully...we lost my sister too a few years later, so things got darker! But it's still the most wonderful time of the year.

-I think your mom and sister wouldn't like you being miserable because of these unfortunate events...

-The dead want nothing...they're dead...

-That was somber...

-I prefer realistic, but ok...

-Aren't u something...

-Oh, I'm a lot more 😉

-I'm sure of that...

He says and I heart his message. Then I finally decide to follow him, curious about what he will do next. 2 seconds later I see a request from him to follow me and I accept it immediately. Before I even manage to think about it, I see him reacting to my story, which is me with our driver with the caption: I missed that guy so much, Thank u Soyer for driving me everywhere since I was 10! 💕😁💋

-So you have a driver?

-Yeah! Well, my dad has, but guess who he runs around with all the time...
