126 Christmas, Part 1

When the party got underway on Christmas Eve, everyone had a blast. Dylan even broke out his guitar and played Christmas songs, while everyone sang along. Tiara entertained the kids with her fun magic, telling them it was just magic tricks. But we all knew better.

Later that night, when the party was in full swing, a woman walked in with dark brown hair and I recognized her immediately.

Not wanting to disrupt the party, Tiara walked quickly over to her. "Aunt Crystal, what are you doing here?"

Dakota and I looked at each other and then moved closer, watching, wondering what she was up to.

"It's a party for family, right?" Crystal shrugged. "I'm family so I'm invited."

Tiara shook her head. "No, Aunt Crystal. I didn't invite you." 

One corner of Crystal's lips curled into a smile as she tilted her head to the side. "What happened Tiara? We were close once upon a time."
