Lisabeth's diary

1 week till Christmas Eve
My schedule was over-filled with plans and appointments about opening the museum. Christmas Eve was coming in a week and we had to finish preparations, clean and tidy it all in here, make a plan and finally, open this place. Since I and Vincent have left Ambrose, we haven't stopped on working on opening our own huge 'House of wax' in LA! We were so looking forward to it.Vincent was very happy and so was I. He looked more free and amazed, than in the old small town of Ambrose.I think he sometimes called to Bo, but never really talked about it, so I let that be.

We planned to celebrate our first Christmas together in our own wax museum and then open it for public on New Year's Eve with fireworks and some shows. We already made some advertising and leaflets. I also made our webpage, and it surprisingly seems, that 'wax museum' is still not old-fashioned. It made us both very happy...and very busy too. As days were passing, there was suddenly almost nothing to do and when we finally had a moment for ourselves. It was the Christmas' Eve!

Christmas' Eve
I was so happy, that we made it. I left Vincent in the museum, so he could enjoy a while being alone and I went outside. I wasn't out there for a month? Vincent doesn't usually gs to public and if so, we like to go out for a walk on the beach in the evening.

I walked around some shops and I kept looking for a special present for Vince. He didn't want anything, but I felt like I have to give him something. Something special, because he meant so much for me. After more than an hour I finally found the perfect gift. It was kinda huge, but somehow I got it inconspicuously inside.  We bought an apartment, near our museum, but Vincent felt better in the House of wax. So he built a small, cozy bedroom in the basement and we used to stay there sometimes... Especially, when we had a lot of things to do. Before we went to sleep, we hid our presents under the christmas tree, which had a wax decorations and candles on itself. Vincent secretly made those decorations when I wasn't there and it looked just lovely.

In the morning I woke up, when Vince was still sleeping, so I quietly stood up and ran to the tree. Lovely. Presents wrapped in red wrapping paper were for me and those in blue were for Vincent. I took the first one and opened it; there was a photo of me and Vince in beautiful wax frame with ornaments. I already knew, where to put it – a top of fireplace. Next one were a sunglasses. I know it may sound weird, when it's winter and I get sunglasses, but! I collect them and there is always a sun shining in LA! The sunglasses were black and, oh my gosh, it had a decoration with diamonds on upper rims. And at time, when I was trying these on my face, Vincent came slowly in.

„Good morning, Vincent!" I smiled at him with sunglasses on my eyes. „Thank you very, very much for presents. I haven't unpacked all of them yet, but when I saw the first ones, I knew the others are perfect as well!" I happily danced to him and hugged him. He wasn't wearing mask; it's not comfortable to sleep in it, and he smiled.

„I'm -lad you lik- it! Me—y X-mas." he said and began to open his gifts. The first one he opened, was a blue wax bird, just as mine red Sebastien one. He smiled at me and I could see, that it means a lot to him. As I hoped so. Then, I bought him a red bowtie, because I knew, that he will have to show himself to the world, when we will open it here. Actually, he dresses very formal lately and takes a good care of hisself. The last present I was opening was... a necklace with a huge red heart, which was actually possible to open. There were two photos; me and Vincent, and on the edging was written: 'Look with your heart, not with your eyes.'

Vincent laid it on my neck and smiled.

„Oh my god. Vincent! Those all gifts from you and this one especially, means so much to me and they are so so so lovely!" I said with tears in my eyes and jumped around his neck. I was so happy at the time, could I wish more?

And what was my special gift for him? He was just unpacking it... It was a glass aquarium, full of Vincent's favourite biscuits – They were called simply fish, but they were the most delisious biscuits I have ever ate. „Fish" were hanging on strings; simulating real fish in aquarium.I found it very funny and stylish. Vincent kept looking at it, saying nothing, so I got a bit nervous, but then he turned to me and thanked me so much. I happily laughed and kissed him. And you know, those were the biscuits we ate after we „made love" for the first time...

Then we were sitting at table, eating breakfast, when I began with an issue/topic we weren't talking about for so long. I wasn't sure how to start, because it wasn't really comfy for me neither.

„Ehm, Vincent? Don't you think, that it's time for us, to call to Bo? I mean, it's Christmas..." I looked worriedly at him and just started to write something on a paper. I gave him this block for Christmas as well, it was nicely decorated and there was also a nice blue pen with it.

But, Beth! I mean, you are right, it's Christmas, I can try at least.
I have actually tried to call him a few times, but he never picked up.
Is he alright?

„Oh, sure, he is. Maybe he was at work or outside. I'm sure if anything would happen, neighbours would take care of him." I smiled and quickly finished the breakfast. We took a break for the whole day, we were just chilling, watching movies and in the evening, we went for a walk. Then, I updated our webpage, sent many leaflets, talked to sponsors and planned the firework show for opening.

On 31st of December I tidied the whole place once more, prepared everything and I and Vincent dressed up. He put on his mask and took the bowtie I gave him and I had long black dress with the red-heart necklace. I combed my long black hair and looked at us in the mirror. We looked like half of Addams family. It was almost 7PM, the opening time and I could hear a lots of people outside. I came to the huge door and opened them!
