62 Chapter 62

The house seemed quieter than usual when I opened my eyes just before dawn. There was a moment when it hadn't quite registered that it was Christmas morning. Once I realized it was the most magical day of the year, my first instinct was to run next door and pounce on my sister so we could race each other down the stairs like we used to do when we were little. But everything came flooding back, hitting me like a ton of bricks, and I remembered, not only was Cadence not there, Cadence wasn't really Cadence anymore, either, at least not the one I'd known back when both of us believed the only person who might be wandering around on our roof at night wore a big red suit instead of black leather.

Nevertheless, I had made a Christmas wish, and I wanted to see if there was any chance of it coming true. So dressed in my festive Christmas pajamas, the ones my mom had given me the night before, I tossed the covers off, slipped my feet into my Mukluks, and went next door.
