Chapter Twelve - Peaceful

Arriving home, completely frozen through, I was welcomed by a beautifully decorated Christmas tree and a delicious smell wafting over from the kitchen and filling the entire house. My grandma ran around, looking for last minute ingredients to her turkey and dressing. Breathing in, I also detected the aroma of mashed potatoes and apple pie.

In the meantime, Abby and Andy had set up the tree and started dressing it with lights and ornaments. Obviously, Abby had found an exception to her I won’t touch that thing rule. They both looked happy, especially Andy. Whenever Abby wasn’t looking, his eyes lingered on her.

“There you are,” Abby said when she saw me, sounding slightly annoyed. “What took you so long? Where the bloody hell have you been?”

Andy’s face suddenly lost its glow. Apparently, he wasn’t all too happy about my sudden appearance.

“I just took a walk,” I mumbled, heading upstairs to change. The moment I stepped out of the bathroom though, Abby was there waiting for me.

I raised my eyebrows questioningly.

“Don’t look at me like that,” she chided. “You know exactly why I am here.”

“I do not have a clue,” I said, knowing exactly why she was there. “Why don’t you give me a hint?”

“Funny,” she said, calling my bluff. “Who is he?”

“He who?” I asked, playing innocent. I really didn’t feel like talking to her; especially be-cause I couldn’t really tell her anything. But I should’ve known that she wouldn’t just walk away. I’d never known her to.

“Okay, not funny anymore,” she said, crossing her arms. “Now, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. It’s up to you.”

I chuckled. “You sound like someone out of a bad cop movie.”

She just shrugged. “I don’t care. It’ll do the trick. So, dish. I saw the guy you went after. Just because I’m a little self-involved, doesn’t mean I don’t notice what’s going on around me.”

I smiled at her. That was Abby. Brutally honest, even about herself. It was a rare treat. Only few people were self-confident enough to tell the truth, no matter what about.

“Fine,” I said, giving up. “It’s a guy I’ve…been seeing around now and then.” I didn’t mention that now and then included future events. “But he always takes off quickly and I didn’t really get to talk to him. So you see, there isn’t much to tell.”

“Maybe what you are not saying is more important.”

I frowned. “What are you talking about?”

She smiled at me. “I mean that you obviously like him.”

“I didn’t say I liked him,” I objected strongly.

“Duh.” She raised her eyebrows at me. “But you see, that’s the beauty of having me as your best friend,” she said, almost glowing with pride. “Just because you didn’t say it doesn’t mean I don’t know it. Doesn’t that make life a lot easier?”

“Easier, or more annoying?” I mumbled.

“Now, don’t be all grumpy and come to dinner,” she said, still as cheerful as before. “You have to admit, slightly obsessive or not, your grams can cook.
