“Do you think she’ll leave?” Dan asks.

Jenny nods.

After that, there will be forced smiles and someone will say: “Christmas is a family holiday.”



Her mom leaves in the evening-not in the morning. She packs her bags then smiles, “Jenny, baby, I’m so sorry.”

The door shuts.

Jenny wants her dad to follow her mom, but he doesn’t move. Instead, he smiles to Dan and says, “Let’s eat.”

“No, thanks,” she answers as she goes to her room, but not before she shuts the door too.



There’s snow falling on the streets-the first snowfall of the year-like Dan dreamed about, but snow is the farthest thing from her mind.

“You have no new messages.”

She always thought that she could make everything right. And today she knows-she was wrong.



“You have reached Nathaniel Archibald’s voice mail…”

She hangs up before he suggests for her to leave a message.

She has nothing to say.



There’s snow falling on the streets, and she’s remembering yesterday’s events; when she stood on the steps in front of her school and sang Christmas songs with the other girls. She’s smiling.

In an alternative reality: there’s snow melting on her lips…and Nate. He laughs and says playfully, “Hey, I didn’t kiss you yet,” and she closes her eyes.

Her hands are cold.
