“You’ve been looking sad the entire time since we got here.”
I pulled my head up to hear Sebastian’s voice. He smiles calmly but I wasn’t in the mood to join the others. We’re all here now and everybody seems to be merry.
“It’s Christmas.” He says as he sits next to me.
I half-smiled.
“And everyone’s downstairs. Why you’re here alone in the library?” he asks.
“it’s warmer here. And… I wanted to see how many books they have.” I reasoned.
Sebastian smiles. “Come on, everyone’s looking for you.”
If everyone includes Benedict then I would be downstairs joining but he’s skipping this get-together because he needed to be there for his dad and mom. Bethany isn’t here too which makes things awfully quieter. I sigh inwardly and I have never talked to them since that day.
