I leaned against the window, straining to hear any sounds from outside. My eyes grew
teary, and I cursed
myself for this display of emotion. Wasn’t it better for us to stay in our own worlds?

you sure about
having them join us?”
“What kind of question is that? Do you think I’m joking? My parents are already shopping
in preparation!” I
teased, and Ryan laughed heartily.
“Then 111 book their plane tickets.”
“Since they’ll arrive on Sunday, make sure they’re well–rested!” I commanded him.
“That’s all.”
I was worried Ryan would procrastinate, so I immediately called Carol to book the tickets
for Sunday.
This New Year’s had a special significance, and I prayed that everything would go as
planned.
