This Christmas....I'll give it to someone special

 

1. An engagement ring because it is a special occasion. And Boone doesn't want to wait.

2. A scarf. Maddie always needs a scarf. Hopefully, she will keep up with this one.

3. Perfume. He knows she loves this brand.

4. Uggs. They love the indoors. Especially, in winter.

5. Something for journaling. She loves journaling.

6. She says you are never too old for plushies.




"We're gonna make the moment count," Eli smiled when he drove up in his Aunt's black Ford Focus from 2020. It was a present from his family.

Amy wasn't sure what to think. She wore her new puffer jacket and gloves. He'd said to dress warmly.

"Where are we going?" She wanted to know.

"Ice skating," he told her it was the most wonderful time of the year. He picked up Junie and Darry and they were on their way. 

As luck would have it, they got in free. Just had to pay for the skates. It was choppy skating for Darry and Junie, but Amy knew what she was doing. She could spin around like an ice princess, and Eli caught on quickly. They skated a good bit of the afternoon. Finally, Darry confessed he was starving. He hadn't eaten breakfast. 

Eli expected as much. Of course, everything was closed on Christmas day but Village Inn. So they packed in with the rest of the stragglers.

"Are you sure you're OK with this?" He asked Amy. Of course, she nodded. She was famished too.

Eli felt so grown up. Darry mentioned how much he loved Eli's car. "Man, it's like a sports car!"

Eli only chuckled. Darry said he might be getting his sister's used car. She was moving to Seattle and said she didn't need it anymore.

"I'm happy for you," Eli told him he deserved a car. After all, he was reliable at the library. 

Darry smiled back. Eli had a feeling they'd be friends for life. He hoped nothing ever changed between the four of them. It was good to see Amy smiling. Maybe she wasn't so worried about her parents after all.

  11. I almost regret that I haven't skated for so long, because it was a very nice activity. Such a childhood memory. I wish you beautiful post-holiday days.
