When I asked her, she quickly looked away, flustered. What are you talking about? I just wanted to know Christopher’s schedule. It’s not as complicated as you’re making it sound.” 

I could sense something strange in her reaction, but since she wasn’t willing to explain, I decided not press the issue. 

After all, winter had arrived, and spring wasn’t far off. The season of love was about to begin. 

“How about we spend Christmas Eve together tomorrow?” I suggested. But to my surprise, Christine immediately declined, saying, “I can’t. I–I have other plans. 

I had been thinking of asking her to go shopping or catch a movie, but since she had something else to do, I let it go. 

“Alright, go ahead and take care of things. I can spend the holiday by myself,” I said. 

Christine stuck out her tongue, looking a bit guilty. 

Then, a bold thought crossed my mind. Was she meeting with Christopher? 

But that was her business. If she wasn’t ready to talk about it, I wouldn’t push any further. 

This Christmas Eve was unusually cold. When I opened the window, a thick fog blanketed the outside. I threw on a heavy coat before heading downstairs. 

Since George’s passing, I hadn’t seen much of Benjamin But today, from the moment I stepped out of my room, Hera seemed eager for me to go downstairs. 

Sure enough, when I reached the bottom of the stairs, Isaw Benjamin sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast. 

I was a little surprised but greeted him happily, “Good morning!” 

Benjamin grunted in response and then added, “I’ll drive you to school later.” 

I didn’t say more, just pulled out a chair and sat down to eat. As I ate, I glanced over at Benjamin. 

“Is there something on my face? Why do you keep staring at me?” Benjamin asked, lifting his eyes to meet mine. 

Embarrassed, I quickly looked away. “No, it’s just… I haven’t seen you in a while, and I noticed you’ve lost some weight.” 

I knew he’d been incredibly busy lately. After George’s passing, the pack had gone through some changes. 

Rival packs were becoming more restless, and Benjamin had been tied up handling those issues. Now that things were finally calming down, I hoped he could enjoy this Christmas.

I nodded. “It’s alright! The exams are coming up soon, so I’m cramming for 

“I know you’ll do well,” he said, giving me an encouraging smile. 

I smiled back, finished my breakfast, and stood up. Tr done. I’ll wait for you outside.” 

With that, I walked out the door. Not long after, Benjamin followed me out.

We got into the car without saying a word. The drive was quiet until we reached the school, and I unbuckled my seatbelt. Tll head in now.”

Just as I was about to get out, Benjamin stopped me. Do you have time tonight? How about we grab dinner together?” 

I hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded firmly. “Sure”
