I make it to the spaghetti breakfast scene when my phone vibrates. I grab it from the table and smile, seeing a text from Liv.

Olive

Merry Christmas, Lane

Lane

Merry Christmas, Olive

How has your day been?

Olive

It’s been really nice

Chaotic, but nice

What about you?

Lane

Relaxing as hell

It’s just Sage and me today

She opened her gifts, and we played all morning

She’s down for her nap now

Olive

I bet she was on the Nice List

Lane

If all the boxes around my tree this morning are any indication, she absolutely was

Olive

Got any plans the rest of the night?

Lane

I’m making macaroni and cheese for dinner per a certain toddler’s request

Other than that, we’re just gonna hang out around here

Olive

Would it be alright if I came over later?

Lane

Ballerina, you never have to ask

You’re always welcome here

Olive
