Epilogue!!

”The thing is,” I told Hail as I shrugged my jacket off,

“I like Dylan. I really do. It’s just… I don’t think we’re

meant to last.”

When the results of the elimination round for the

writing contest came out last year’s holiday break, I

somehow found myself paying Dylan a visit to ask

him if he was in.

We both got in. Since then, we became friends and I

found myself visiting Julie’s during his shift. I wasn’t

sure, exactly, how things progressed from there, but

six months later, he finally asked me to go out with

him and I agreed.

Hail gave me a pointed look. “So you dumped him?”

I cringed. “Really, I prefer saying we saved us both

from a relationship that was doomed to fail. Dylan

understands. And look, he even gave us free cream

puffs, see? We’re better off as friends.”

She threw her hands up in the air in an Ah, f--k

it gesture. “I knew you weren’t over him yet.”

Rolling my eyes as I closed the door behind us, I

shook my head. “What are you even talking about?”

“Kyla,” she said, “you know what I’m talking about.”

I was about to deny this assumption again, but then

Hunter came bounding from somewhere inside the

house (probably the kitchen) to greet me home. I

crouched down, unable to keep myself from

grinning as I ruffled up his fur in that spot he liked,

somewhere close to his ears.

I was glad to be back for Holiday break. While I loved

my dorm and all the friends I made who lived on the

same floor as me and Hail, I couldn’t deny the fact

that I got homesick a lot. College was stressful and

even this break was probably going to be busy for

me, seeing as I had a paper due at the end of the

month.

Hail and I had been back in town for two days now

and yesterday, we met up with Alyssa and the

others. We were both surprised to find out that

Warren and Alyssa had gotten back together

(finally!), but nothing could have shocked us more

than Justin asking Hail out on a date.

Adrienne appeared to greet us too. She was wearing

a Santa hat as she all but ran towards me and Hail. It

was only just the twenty-third, but she was so

excited about Christmas that I couldn’t even imagine

how she’d act on the day itself.

Ever since I’d gotten home, she chose to follow me

around whenever I was inside the house, sticking to

me like I’d been glued to her. When I asked her why,

she told me she just wanted to spend all her time

with me before I had to go off to college again.

“Mom and Dad aren’t back yet,” Adrienne told me as

Hail and I shrugged our coats off. “They told me to

remind you to start making the cookies already.”

“This is the only reason you want me back for

Christmas. It’s all about the cookies.”

Adrienne giggled and asked if she could help. I

pretended, of course, that she couldn’t, just to make

her beg and promise to behave, before finally

agreeing. Hail “decided” to help too and we all headed

to the kitchen.

On our way, however, Adrienne stopped walking

and let out a dramatic, “Oh!”

I raised an eyebrow at her. “What?”

“Something came for you earlier!”

Before I could say anything about this, she was

already running back into the living room. Hail and I

exchanged a look before making the rest of our way

to the kitchen. I was busy pulling out all the supplies

we needed to make the cookie dough from the

cupboards when Hail decided to bring up the topic I

thought I’d already managed to dodge earlier.
