Fireworks (3)

The Pecks were excited all day.

Mr. Trevor came home for the New Year!

Trevor arrived near noon. He wore a white down jacket and a red scarf same as the one on Christy's neck. Trevor and Christy held hands as they walked into the house. All the servants of the Pecks were shocked.

One of the servants came to himself and shouted loudly, "Mr. Trevor was back." And then the house became much livelier.

Mr. and Mrs. Peck sat on the sofa, staring straight at Trevor. The red scarf wrapped around Trevor's lower half face, revealing only a pair of eyes. His eyes were clean but with the power to see through people.

Mrs. Peck looked at Trevor for a while and her eyes turned red. She lowered her head, wiped her tears away with a tissue, and continued to stare.

She had not seen Trevor's face for so many years. Even if she wanted to get close to him, she was afraid of scaring him. Trevor was standing in front of her now, but she did not even dare to touch him.
