Chapter 32 – The Best Night of the Year (Part 1)

- For the last time, Derek! Santa Claus won't arrive until later, when you and your sister are sleeping. Now get back here!

Missy laughed as she watched Diana gently scold her son, making the little boy walk back to where they were with his shoulders hunched, walking away from the window and the snowy nightscape outside. Sitting around the living room, next to the beautifully decorated Christmas tree, all the adults of the Knight family continued to exchange their Christmas presents, while the children, even sleepy, still hadn't given up on seeing Santa Claus before their time. to sleep. Eleanor, for example, hugging Rey and sitting near one of the sofas, welcomed her brother with an encouraging look, seeming to want to comfort him for not being able to see the good old man through the window, on the thousandth attempt that night.

Sitting on Logan's lap in one of the armchairs, Missy happily sipped her hot chocolate, enjoying the peaceful, loving atmosphere of that Christmas morning.
