vi🥺: im here, safe and sound, ready to sleep

jeff💘: get some rest, i love you

Olivia was finally at her parents house, her older brother here too, as it was tradition. Olivia was in her old bedroom, which was very nostalgic for her. She couldn't wait until Jeff could come here one day, so she could show him her life and hometown. Her and her brother, as well as her parents, were all watching Christmas movies on the couch with an assortment of homemade goods. Including her mother's famous chocolate christmas cake.

"Tell me about Jeff, sweetheart." Her mom asked as they both washed up. Olivia smiled.
"He's amazing. He has a 'tough guy' act but he's so very sweet. And we've been together for about a year, so a meeting is overdue. But I'm really happy."

"I'm glad to hear it."

When evening rolled around, her and her brother had received their traditional Christmas Eve box. Every year it would be a few things to open before Christmas Day. And you'd think, as two people in their mid twenties, the tradition would stop. But it never did.

"I got some silky pyjamas, my favourite." Olivia cheered, opening the box. "And a gingerbread mug, some chocolate and a card. Thank you guys."

"I got The Grinch pyjamas." Her brother, Nicholas, replied. "And the same as you, Liv. Thanks mom and dad."

Olivia got into bed that night and could barely keep her eyes open. But she was trying to, for Jeff. They were on FaceTime together, talking about how Christmas was tomorrow. Olivia closed her eyes, thinking it would make it easier to listen to Jeff's voice. But she fell asleep. Jeff watched her, admiring her peaceful sleeping face.

"Goodnight, Vi."
