Sleigh bells ring.
Are you listening?
The music flowed from the speakers in the living room. Jessica hummed softly along with the carol.
Kirsten subtly watched Ryan out off the corner of her eye. She was thoroughly enjoying the moment. Seth and Jessica were working away on the tree. She gracefully accepted Seth's obsessive nature, occasionally offering suggestions of her own. Even more surprising, Seth actually liked them and Jessica was able to add some of her own personality to the Cohen tree.
Sandy and Sophie were decorating the fireplace mantle with stocking s and a menorah. Meanwhile, Summer was in the guest room putting the baby down for a nap.
But Kirsten's attention was on Ryan. His focus was on the cooking but the corners of his mouth were curved in a small smile as he heard his girlfriend humming along with the Christmas carol.
He hurried to put the cookies in the oven and he rushed into the living room with Jessica's coffee. It was clear that he hated being away from her.
Suddenly, Kirsten felt hands on her hips and arms holding her. She leaned back on Sandy and they watched their son with his girlfriend.
"Looks like he's found his Kirsten Nichol," Sandy mentioned, thinking back to his conversation with Ryan a few weeks ago.
Kirsten chuckled. She had never told Sandy about her similar conversations with Seth and Summer.
She simply agreed. "Mm, I hope so."
