Chapter 27: Cherished Memories

|| Arabella ||

The finals were over a week ago, and the winter vacation had started. The exams went pretty well. Though I struggled a little with Math, the other subjects were like a breeze.

Right now, we were doing the Christmas gift exchange in advance since Wyatt wouldn't be coming with us. Theo and I were leaving for Atherton tomorrow morning.

"Please let me get the velvet box, Santa," Coral chanted.

I laughed as she was blindfolded and kept reaching out her hand, hoping to get the small velvet book.

The four of us had our gifts on the coffee table, and each of us would be blindfolded when we'd place our hands on the present. In that way, we wouldn't know what we were choosing.

As much as Coral wished to get the velvet box, she ended up with the green one. She ripped off the black piece of cloth and pouted. She shook the thing, trying to guess what was inside.

"Whose gift is it?" she asked.

"Mine," Wyatt responded.

"This better be good." She gave him a narrowed look.
