I look at the cloudy sky from the glass wall in front my desk.
I can get that so many people can hate this type of weather because it can makes you feel nostalgic or moody but I really love this, maybe because I'm more a "stay inside" person or maybe is because I love read and we all know thar a cloudy or rainy day can always make your reading more enjoyable, also, I like comfy clothes, stay in my comfort zone and be organized.

Today is a normal and typical evening here at the HarperCollins. The sun is going down pretty fast and the streets lights are already on, lightning the London winter evening.

My first Christmas here in London... It feels magical already.
I always thought that Christmas is more special in cold places and my theory seems to be true, also here at the HarperCollins publishing feels like Christmas, there are lights everywhere and in the main hall there is a giant Christmas tree, in Christina style obviously, decorated by only white balls and lights that reminds me about Kylie Jenner's last year Christmas tree.
I really can't wait to spend my holidays on the sofa cuddled to Hero and wrapped in a warm blanket watching "Home Alone" for the thousand time in my life.

I already sent my gifts to Australia hoping that they will get there before Easter at least... I also bought Christian and Eleanor's gifts that were the most difficult ones. I mean, it's hard to look for a gift to someone that already has everything.
To Christian I bought a vinyl of his favorite Frank Sinatra's album, because he keeps mentioning it when he talks about the first time he met Eleanor. To Eleanor I got a Dior candle, she loves scents in general so I thought she's gonna like it.

My phone buzz on the desk so I grab it knowing who is. I knew it. It's Hero.
He is at Felix's having some fun with his "mates", like he uses to say,and honestly he really needs it right now that his knee doesn't let him training, go to work or even take Diesel for a walk.
I look at the photo and damn, he fine as hell.
Still so overwhelmed by the beauty of this guy I text him back:

Have fun! Can't wait to see you tonight💋

Hero🦒: Miss you too!!👀❤️

And then I get a text from Christian.

Christian👨🏽: Can you come to the office?

Can I come in like 10 minutes? I'm
in the middle of a chapter

Christian👨🏽: No it's urgent.

God, what it could be? I'm starting to get worried.

Okay I'm coming!

I leave my office and I walk to the elevator.
When u reach the white door I let my knuckles meet the wood and then I hear Christian's voice saying in a firm voice tone: "Come in!"
So I open it and I look forward and then my breathing system stops.
I can't believe to my eyes! Am I daydreaming? Is more correct to say evening dreaming.
There is no way to this can be real.
I run my eyes on her body to make sure that I didn't him my head somewhere and I'm having hallucinations right now.
She still the same, she didn't changed at all, maybe, is tanner than usual and with more heavy and warm clothes on.
"Are you okay? You seems like you just saw a ghost" that voice with that strong Australian accent wakes me from my thoughts.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" its the only thing that comes out of my mouth.
"Well i see that you didn't loose your habit of cursing" Christian says giggling.
"And that bitch the reaction that I was expecting." she says giggling.
Only God knows how much I missed her giggle.
I let that giggle penetrate my muscles and get to my bones.
"Are you not happy to see me?" she asks so insecure and then I realize that I'm still standing on the doorway, so, I run and literally jump on her.
My nostrils immediately recognize her scent while my brain reminds me about the smell of home.
I really wasn't that homesick, I only had one moment, when I broke down in tears through Hero's arms with my face hided Behring his neck, but now, I feel more complete.
"God I never heard you being this silent, did I left you speechless or you didn't want me here?"she asks me while she tries to step back and look at my face but I font let her go.
I need to enjoy her arms for other few seconds.
"I guess us more the first option." Christian says looking at me balanced only on one foot while the other is crossed right at the ankles height and it touches the ground with the tip of the toe.
His arms are crossed on his chest and a smile is placed on his lips.
"I hope so. I mean, I completely get it if she lost all the time it's looking at her beautiful sister." she says so cocky and obviously joking.
"When you arrived here and how much are you going to stay?" I ask her fast.
"Woah, woah, woah. Slow down Eminem 2.0" she says mocking me showing me the kindest smile ever.
"I landed an hour ago, I left my stuff at Christian's house and here I am! I'm going to stay here till Christmas." she says.
"You came all the way here just for four days? Spending all your money?" I ask feeling so bad about it.
"I just didn't wanted to you to spend your first Christmas all alone" she says an them my eyes gets full of tears.
"No don't cry! You know it!" she says referring at her habit to automatically cry when she sees someone crying.
I hug her again .
"I missed you." I say.
"I missed you too, garden gnome." she says laughing.
