EMMETT

Christmas morning, everyone gathers in the kitchen for a fried breakfast. We’ve always done it this way for as long as I can remember, Buck’s Fizz, breakfast, then gift opening around the tree in the living room.

The twins come running into the kitchen with the tray left out the night before for Santa. “He ate the mince pie.”

“The reindeer only nibbled the carrot.”

“Santa drank his juice though.”

Mom and Dad exchange glances. It’s always been family time, the only time of the year, according to Mom, when everyone switches off to what’s going on outside these four walls. She’s probably right. I haven’t thought about work since I rode Jupiter down to the stream yesterday with Mary.

It was a stupid move. I let my dick control my brain without a thought for the consequences, and I knew as soon as we got back to the house that Mary wanted more. It was a big deal for her. Of course, it was. And even when I realized that it was her first time, did I stop and walk away? Like fuck, did I. I was already in way too deep, and that’s what scared me.

“Where’s Mary?” Fianna’s question interrupts my reverie.

“She’ll miss the Buck’s Fizz.” Mom gestures to the champagne in the ice bucket. “Go and wake her up, Emmett.”

“Maybe we should let her sleep.”

“She’ll be disappointed if she misses anything.” Mom isn’t letting this go. “She was so excited about today.”

Was she?

“Emmett,” Dad joins in, “go get your girl. We’re only waiting for Mary.”

There’s no point arguing with them.

Leaving the warm hustle and bustle of the kitchen behind, I head to Mary’s guest room and stop outside. The room is silent. She must still be sleeping.

I knock gently, my knuckles barely grazing the door.

Nothing.

Okay. Maybe she had more to drink than I realized yesterday and is still sleeping it off. I rap the door harder three times, like it’s a pre-agreed code. Then I listen.

Still nothing.

“Mary?” My fingers wrap around the doorknob. I don’t want to barge in and scare the bejesus out of her, but I don’t think she’s going to hear me. I try one more time. “Mary?” Louder now.

When there’s still no sound of movement from behind the door, I open it carefully, the door shushing across the carpet. I peer inside at the darkened room. The curtains are still closed, but the lamps are on, and I wonder if Mary is scared of the dark.

Then I realize that the bed is empty.

It’s empty, but it’s obvious that it hasn’t been slept in because the covers are turned down neatly on one side, the way mom always likes it, and the comforter is still smooth.

Opening the door wide, I step inside, trying to make sense of the empty room. The clothes Mary wore yesterday when we rode down to the stream are folded neatly on top of the old-fashioned chest at the foot of the bed. A fleeting image of Mary bent over in front of me with her jeans around her ankles, pops into my head, and I brush it aside.
