After bidding farewell to my friends that evening, Simon and I made our way to his car.
"I like your friends," Simon said as we got into the car.
Chuckling, I shook my head. "But Emma and Elinor like you even more."
Simon laughed. "Do you think I didn't notice that?"
My mouth agape. "For the love of God, my best friend has finally started to notice the things going on around him."
He hissed, playfully ruffling my hair. "Silly."
"Hey! My hair!"
Simon started the engine then traversed the road.
"So how was your event?" he asked while I was busy sticking my head out the window to admire the Christmas decorations we passed while driving.
The city transforms into a winter wonderland, with twinkling lights, festive displays, and beautifully decorated trees lining the streets. I smiled.
