Chapter 17

*Love Interest*

Christmas is definitely different this year. It starts out with my mom and I exchanging gifts as usual, but then we go over to Delilah and Mr. Howard’s house. After exchanging gifts with them, we all watch a Christmas movie together. My mom and Mr. Howard cuddle on the couch, while Delilah and I spread out across the floor. I miss half of the movie because we are all joking around and laughing together. It’s not a big deal since it’s just a Hallmark movie, which isn’t hard to follow anyway. Plus, this feels right. Now I understand what holidays are supposed to be like. It’s almost like having a whole family. It’s not that I’ve been unhappy with just my mom, but now I feel complete. I try to shake these thoughts from my head. Don’t get attached. Don’t get attached. I’m starting to worry how I’ll react if something happens between my mom and Mr. Howard. I’m scared to get too happy. With comfort comes expectations, and with expectations comes disappointment.

When we get back home, I have about an hour before Bug is supposed to come over, so I sit down at my desk to get all of my thoughts onto paper. In the past, I would have written this in my journal, but instead, I pull a piece of blank paper out of my notebook and write to Marjorie.
