Why her? [CHAENNIE]

-God, I hope there are still tickets.- Jennie mumbled, running a glance at her calendar.

-I think there will still be tickets, but I'd hurry if I were you.- Rose chuckled, pulling into a parking lot outside the mall.

Ella: I'll be in Toronto on December 21. I bought a ticket!

Jennie gets a message from her sister with the exact date and sighs. Stands at home to order tickets for December 23, hoping, of course, that they will be. She answers her sister's message and turns off her phone, realizing they've already arrived.

-Ella....- Rose began to speak as the girls got out of the car and headed into the mall.- She's your sister?

From what she had heard earlier in the office, she roughly realized that purely theoretically it could be Jennie's sister, but decided to clarify, dispelling other versions. What for? The answer to this question the girl buried very deep in the subcortex of consciousness.

-Yes.- Jennie nods, entering the building.

The girls are immersed in the bustling atmosphere of the mall, hearing Christmas music and the general hum of people's voices. Some of the screens are playing advertisements for the upcoming holiday, as well as for the upcoming hockey game. There are so many people that it's overwhelming, and many people are buying Christmas gifts in advance. The whole place and all the stores in it are decorated with themed paraphernalia, and there is already a big, beautiful Christmas tree, looking at which, the Christmas spirit completely envelops you. It's snowing outside again, so soft, as Jennie likes, and "Abba - Last Christmas" is playing all over the center, and the mood is greatly enhanced.

-She's in New York now. She's studying to be a journalist.- Jennie continued, walking shoulder to shoulder with Rose and looking around at the different stores, which were very nicely decorated.

-That's cool.- The blonde noted, glancing at Jennie and then taking a quick glance at where the optician's office was.- Will she stay there after graduation?

Kim shrugs, adjusting the backpack on her shoulder, which occasionally falls off her slippery jacket.

-I don't think so. - She shakes her head as she turns the corner after Rose. - She wants to go to Toronto. I said: "Do whatever you want, I'll support whatever you decide." She's not a little girl, she'll decide what's best for her.

Rose smiles, imagining Jennie playing the role of big sister.

-She's graduating next year and they're going to Los Angeles.- Kim continued, talking and gesturing with her hand.- Of course, I said yes, go, and I'll give you money if you need it, but I'm a little worried. After all, the States are not as safe as we have here, you know? And they're young and stupid... I don't know what might happen.

The blonde shifts her gaze to the girl, noticing that she's a little worried about her sister going on vacation to LA, and you can see that she's really worried, though she's trying not to show it.

-It's not that bad in L.A.- Park consoles the girl.- I've been there several times, and many of my friends are from there or are just moving there. It's the best time for them to have fun. And like you said, she's an adult. How old is she? 23?

-24.- Jennie chuckled, shrugging her shoulders and calming down a bit, turning her gaze back to Rose.

-I told you. - Park throws up her hand and the girls smile at each other, and then the blonde notices that they have arrived at their destination.- We're here.

Once inside, Jennie took a quick look around, stunned by the huge selection of glasses. "It can take forever to sort them all out here."- the girl thinks. Noticing her confusion, Rose smiles:
