During breakfast later on in themorning, the two girls were giggling between each other.In relying on her new maternal instincts she'd developed; Cind... knewthere was something up with Caitlyn and Jenni. "Alright you two out withit, what's the secret joke?"It was Caitlyn that with a mischievous grin directed at both Cindy andChad. "It's my guess that there was a visit last night after Jenni and Iwent to bed, correct?"Failing miserably, Cindy tried her best in being as innocent as shecould.. “Just one, but it makes time fly.” Feeling bold, she prodded the young woman again. “And that is?” The young neighbor tilted her head and grinned impishly. “Playing games.” She whispered.

On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!"It was the first time in decades, I'd heard her speak those words withsuch passion and joy. If I hadn't been for the potion that might havebeen what had convinced me that Santa's transformation was for thebetter, but after my metamorphosis I had needed no.
