Leni came downstairs and, seeing Lincoln asleep on the couch, approached him.

"He looks so cute when he's asleep." Leni thought. The girl came up to him and sniffed deeply, concentrating on his white hair. The scent of the shampoo mingled with his sweat, forming an intoxicating fragrance. Leni couldn't take it anymore and kissed him on the lips. It felt so good. Leni didn't want to be separated; she wanted more. She wanted everything from the boy, but she couldn't take it; he had to offer it to her. Finally, she parted from his lips. Leni was about to go upstairs when she saw Lincoln's leather jacket on the couch.

Leni took it and sniffed it, and when she did, her eyes widened like plates. There was that delicious smell—the wonderful Lincoln perfume. Leni quickly ran up the stairs to her room and got under her covers. She was now warmed by her brother's scent, which made her feel so protected. As if this were an anesthetic, Leni instantly fell asleep.

In her dream, Lincoln stood in the shadows with his sister in his arms in a heroic pose.

In the morning, everyone had breakfast. That day, Mr. Lynn was making breakfast to give his son a day off.

Everyone was so excited since that night was Christmas Eve. And the good news kept coming, because for Christmas, the family is going to Great Lakes City for the holidays with the Casagrandes family, which Lori is really excited about.

The sound of the mailbox warned of the arrival of mail. Leni got up to look for it. The girl was looking at the letters when it suddenly made her blood freeze. Leni put it in her pocket and sat down to breakfast.

"Is there something interesting in the mail, honey?" Rita asked her daughter.

Leni takes a deep breath and answers with a smile. "No, just the usual."

No one noticed that Leni was lying—only one person, and that person was Lincoln, who listened to his sister's heartbeat and her low but tense breathing.

When breakfast was over, everyone went about their daily business.

Some things had changed by those dates. for example.

Lori no longer needed to open the gifts because she had a box wrapped in several layers of gift wrapping. If she felt the need to open a gift, she would only remove one of the layers, and it was very cumbersome for her.

Leni no longer uses the ornaments to make clothes; they bought to her exclusively for her to wear.

Luna has actually composed her own Christmas rock carols, as well as Luan's traditional twelve jokes, and has memorized a very long list covering every possible situation or reference.

Lucy and Lynn gave up their habit of looking for presents around the house two years ago, but now they have a new target this year that they took from Clyde. Receive a kiss from Lincoln.

Lola no longer has to pretend to be good; her behavior has improved over the years.

And Lily was so excited to spend her first Christmas with her brother in a long time.

Upstairs, Leni was on her way to her room when she came across Lincoln, who was going to Lisa's room, and was so fascinated at the sight of her brother that they accidentally bumped into each other and fell to the floor. Lincoln got himself up and helped his sister up, and they both went back on their way. Leni didn't realize that she no longer had the letter.

Lincoln knocked on his genius sister's door, and she said yes to going ahead, and Lincoln proceeded to enter, walking into Lisa in front of her desk as she reviewed some notes.

"And what can I offer you, big brother?" Lisa asked without removing her gaze from her remarks.

Lincoln put the letter on her desk and replied. "Read to me what is written here."

Lisa took the envelope. "message ?" The girl read the front and was confused. "Wait. This is for Leni. Why do you have mail for her?"

"Just read it."

"Well, but I wouldn't take responsibility for what happened if it was something very personal. Which it obviously is." Lisa proceeded to mentally read the letter, and her face blushed as fear seized her, which Lincoln had noticed upon listening to his little sister's heart.

"Lincoln. Is this Leni's letter?"

"Of course. I took it out of her pocket. Why? What. She says?"

"It is a letter from a person worded in specific detail and a picture of his delusions with our sister's private parts and the machinations he plots, plus an attendant threat that will doom our entire family to a terrible end if she reveals anything about This." Lisa finished leaving the letter on her desk and was putting on hand sanitizer.

Lincoln was already more cultured and knowledgeable, so he understood perfectly what his sister had said. "So some idiot harassed Leni and threatened her and our whole family if she told anyone about this."

Lincoln clenches his fists. "Lisa. You still have those spy beetles."

"Yes why?."

"I want you to know if Leni has more letters like this."

The little genius nodded with determination and quickly pulled out from one of the drawers of her desk a clock with a button she had pressed. Several metallic beetles emerged from under her bed, and the bugs scanned the letters and entered through the holes. A minute later, they returned with a worn and dirty cardboard box. When Lisa opened it, she was shocked, and there were no less than sixty messages inside. "It's an alarming number."

Lincoln slammed his palm against Lisa's desk as he took the envelope. "This motherfucker. How long has this been happening?"

"A year and a half ago." Lincoln and Lisa turned, and at the door was a weeping, glass-eyed Leni.
