"I’m going to miss you," Jackie hugged me at the doorway of my room in our two-bedroom condo. "You better call me when you guys land, so I know you made it safely. I’m going to be checking the news to make sure no planes have crashed.”

I rolled my eyes and went back to packing. "You’re being ridiculous. Flying is far safer than driving. There’s way more car accidents a day than there are plane crashes."

"You’re literally flying across the whole country. That doesn’t make you nervous?" She shuddered.

It did, especially since I’d never been on a plane before, but there was no way I was admitting it to Jackie. "It’ll be fine. It’s not like I’m going to be by myself."

She smiled. "How does it feel to be spending Christmas with your love muffin’s parents? That’s like serious."

It was crazy actually. Gareth and I had been together for over two years. His parents had finally fully embraced our relationship, but it had been a challenge to say the least. "It’s a little weird actually. I mean, they’re happy for us, but staying with them, in their house? It’s a little disconcerting. I have no idea what the sleeping arrangements are going to be. I definitely don’t know that I feel comfortable sleeping in the same room with Gareth under his parent’s roof."

"I’m surprised you haven’t moved in with him already. Not that I want you to leave, because I love having you as a housemate, but neither of us are really ever here anymore."

I plopped onto the corner of my bed. "We’ve talked about it, but I just don’t know if I’m ready. That probably sounds stupid. It’s just..." I trailed off.

"You’re just waiting for it to go to shit, because no one ever stuck around when you were a kid," Jackie finished for me.

"Yeah, pretty much. My life is going way too well."

"I can’t imagine how you’re feeling, but since I’m your best friend, I’m going to tell you to get your head out of your ass. You deserve all the great things that are happening. You have a sexy boyfriend whose parents like you and an even sexier best friend."

I choked out a laugh. Leave it to Jackie.

"You’re the almost social worker for God’s sake. You need to do something about that negative self-talk, girl. You are an amazing girlfriend and bestie. You like kids and animals. You’re way too cheerful, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. There’s no reason why your life shouldn’t be going well. Trust me, you rock."

My eyes burned, and I jumped up to hug her. "What would I do without you? Thank you for being the best friend a girl could ask for."

"You’re welcome."

The knock on the door pulled us apart. "Oh, that’s Gareth. I need to finish packing quick."

"I’ll send him in. You two have fun, and have a Merry Christmas. I’ll see you when you get back."

She left, and I heard faint voices down the hall, until a minute later, there was a light knock on the doorframe.
