CHAPTER TWELVE ; A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS
(also known as; I Protest Against Any Absolute Conclusion)
☽☼☾A week or so later, Olivia is at the theater helping some of the kids from school surprise Cole Mackenzie. She had heard from Diana about how Billy Andrews knocked him off of ladder while he was painting for their Christmas play and how he broke his wrist and couldn't finish the painting.
If there was one thing Olivia was familiar with, it was the cruelty of Billy and she wanted to help as much as she could so she showed up with Anne, Diana, Ruby, Jane, Tillie, and Moody to help out.
It took a few hours but with the helping hands they finished the painting. Cole looked so relieved and most of the time, Olivia was getting to know him.
She learned that he came from a medium sized family and loved painting and drawing. She made him promise to teach her how to one day and he agreed. After they were done, Anne walked Olivia back to the Abrim's shoe shop.
"So, Marilla wanted to remind you that supper is at five tomorrow but you can come earlier. She also wanted to extend the invitation to Isaac and Hattie if they don't already have plans." Anne tells her as they stand outside the store.
"Hattie and Isaac are planning on spending Christmas here with her family. I promised them I would stop by for a while so I'll be a little bit late for supper at your house but I promise I'll make it. Sleepover after?" She asks her friend who nods her head vigorously.
"Of course. Make sure to wear that blue dress of yours with the corset and we can play knight and princess after dinner." Anne says with a smile.
Olivia nods and she's about to walk into the shop before Anne stops her.
"I almost forgot, this, is from Jerry." She pulls a card out of her pocket and hands it to Olivia.
The girl opens the card and laughs.
Marry Christmas Olivia,
Love, Jerry
"Please tell him how much I love it since I won't be able to see him tomorrow." She tells Anne, giving her a hug. "I'll see you tomorrow."

The next day, Olivia spends hours in the kitchen preparing the two dishes for the two suppers she will be attending. For the Abrim's house, she makes cake from items she bought in town and for the Cuthbert's house she makes her mother's jelly recipe.
The meal at the Abrim's house was loud and small but she loved every minute of it and caught herself wishing she didn't have to leave but she made a promise to Anne that she couldn't back out of.
