A/N: The next chapter is the last one, but I promise it'll be long, the teaser song is already on the playlist.

The fridge's door now is covered with pictures of both, pictures of Sorcha, Sorcha and them, they and Anne or Raoul, for the first time Cat likes to have pictures at home, after 6 months living together they've seen different sides of each other; Cat was surprised when she sees for the first time Élise angry, she's also seen her worried sick when her grandma was in the hospital, she's now at home but she's not well, Cat suspects maybe this year will be the last time she's going to see her and she knows she's to be there for Élise when that happens. Cat's seen her frustrated when Élise doesn't feel creative, she even thinks she's cute when Élise throws tantrums.

Christmas is around the corner, they have more events than ever before and Cat is organising the company's Christmas dinner, since it's cold Élise's been wearing jeans, pants and coats, she looks pretty but Cat can't wait for spring and summer.

They walk inside the company taking hands, it's not strange now for workers, they are in the lift when the doors open Maé greets them and gets inside, she's been getting close to Élise, when Maé told her that she needed a place nearer the company Élise offered her flat, so now Maé lives in Élise's grandma's flat for a good price.

"Hi Cat, Élise" Maé kisses Élise's cheeks.

"Hi, are you nervous?" Maé had her first event 3 months ago, now she's going to present a bigger event.

"Well...".

"It'll be fine" Élise says as the doors open on the 4th floor, they get off.

"See you in a bit" Cat winks at her and walks towards her office.

"So" Élise continues her chat with Máe, "are you going away this January?" she asks that because they have almost all January off.

"My parents and I are going to visit my brother in Germany...I want to invite Jul" she says whispering, they're still dating and that's good if not it'd be awkward, while Marine seems has got over him.

"That's so nice".

"What about you?"

Élise answers whispering too, "we're going to Scotland, she's going to meet my family" Maé just covers her mouth in surprise. The only person who knows who she's dating is her sister, she told her but asked her to keep it secret for the moment, she wants to tell her dad personally, her sister agreed.

They get their things to go to their usual Tuesday meeting, next weekend they are full, 3 events Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 2 Christmas parties on Monday and their Christmas dinner will be on Tuesday.

Cat is in the meeting room before everyone, she smiles at Élise, Élise smiles back, it's much better now that they don't have to hide, sometimes Élise has lunch in Élise office.

After 2-hour meeting, they go to their spots to continue with their activities, design team stays in the room, Marissa wants to organise everything with them for the forthcoming events as they have to divide.

"Karl, Marine and Kary will be in the events for Friday; Maé, Élise and me on Saturday, Karl, Jul and Marine on Sunday; Jul, Kary and Élise on Monday" basically they're going to cover the events they designed.

It's time to have lunch and Élise is missing her already; she knocks the door before she enters.

Cat is sitting at her desks looking at something on the computer, "give me a sec" there's food on the table, Cat has asked for that before, Élise tries some of what she sees.
