Everly didn't remember the last time she woke up with a smile after hearing the sound of her alarm clock. The smile never left her face as her hand pushed the bright red button to shut it off then she jumped out of bed to finish packing her bag. As soon as that was done, the blonde girl went into the bathroom to do her morning routine before putting on her red converse and pulling her hair in its usual ponytail. She quickly threw her bag over her shoulders and took one last look around her room for the last year then walked out into the hall.
Once she got to the main living area, the Jones girl found her sister at the stove making eggs while Henry sat at the counter to finish his homework at the last minute. Everly just stood there for a moment and watched the two of them before she tossed her backpack onto the couch to make herself known. Emma quickly turned and made eye contact with the girl before the former sent her a small smile on her face.
"Well, don't you look pirate-y," the Savior teased, causing the Purest Heart to quirk an eyebrow at her before looking down at her black jeans and matching denim jacket.
"Very funny," Everly responded with an eye roll at her then walked into the kitchen to pour herself and Henry a glass of juice.
After placing the cup in front of her nephew, the blonde girl sat down in the chair next to the brunette as he looks up at Emma. A concerned look formed on his face the moment he laid eyes on his mother before Everly followed his gaze to find her sister aggressively whisking the eggs while avoiding eye contact with her son.
"Mom," Henry called out to her, making the blonde woman stop what she was doing before turning around to face her son, "you're hurting the eggs."
"Right," Emma sighed as she set down the whisk and poured the eggs into the pan. Silence surrounded the three of them once again as the Savior started to scramble the eggs and continued for another awkward moment before the blonde looked back at her son. "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Do you believe in magic?"
Everly sent her sister an annoyed look before she brought her hands up to cover the disappointment on her face. The irritation within her kept growing as she listened to Henry list off all the different holiday faces that bring him gifts. As soon as he was done speaking, the Purest Heart took her hands away from her face before looking over at her nephew to see him about to have a laughing fit.
"You're not sure you made the right decision, are you?" Henry asked as his smile slowly faded from his face.
