"We are getting married." Priscilla blurted causing John to smile at her sudden outburst.
The two officers then stopped, each one looking directly in the eyes of Priscilla.
"Please don't take him from me." She pleaded.
"Officers, there has been a big misunderstanding." Paul began to explain.
"Are you saying you and your wife consent to this relationship?" Officer Hooten asked while John was still handcuffed.
"We do." Replied Ann who then stepped forward, entwining her fingers with her husbands.
The officers were dumbfounded; rendered speechless.
"Our daughter was missing, now she is not. We no longer require the services you offer." Paul continued.
"I'm afraid you have nothing on me fellas." John said with a sly smile.
Officer Hooten then began to take the handcuffs off John.
"Sorry for the misunderstanding." Said Officer St. Germain.
"S'okay." John replied while rubbing his wrists.
The two officers then left, closing the door behind them.
Priscilla and John embraced; turning toward her parents Priscilla smiled, "Thank you." she said softly.
"It's getting late." John said as he noted the time was currently 8 pm, "I would like it if you came back with me." He said addressing only Priscilla.
Priscilla glanced at her parents, then back towards John, "I think I'm going to stay here tonight. I'll come over in the morning." She said with a smile.
John's face dropped a bit, "Okay love, maybe we can get a Christmas tree tomorrow. Would you like that?" John said rubbing her shoulders. "We could decorate it too, make a day of it."
"Oh John, I would love that." Priscilla gushed.
John thanked Mr. & Mrs. Beaulieu before leaving. He truly did have much to be thankful for. If it had not been for them, he could have been in a jail cell for Christmas. Christ what would Mimi think of me then.... he thought as he drove the familiar streets that led back to his flat, alone.

The following morning Priscilla returned to John's flat as she promised. Being her mother was so delighted she had chosen to stay home last night, Ann had decided to make the entire family French toast and waffles for breakfast.
Upon arriving at John's place, she found him rummaging through his storage looking for the Christmas decorations he had used in the years prior.
"Ah ha!" proclaimed John as he finally found the decorations.
Emerging from the small crawlspace above a closet in the living room, John was filled with dust and cobwebs. He was toting a cardboard box filled to the brim with ornaments, a smile plastered on his face.
This vision caused Priscilla to giggle.
"Boy you sure packed them away good Johnny." She laughed.
Ignoring her comment, John began to unpack the box. Priscilla knelt down next to him, twirling the points of a large star in between two fingers. "I'm so excited to celebrate Christmas with you." She said as her eyes lit up.
"Me too love." And I can't wait 'till I give you your pressie... he thought with a smile.
