Midnight Sun Challenge
Christmas in Sunset Valley
The one thing Maya had learnt about the wealthy lifestyle, was that it took a lot of clothing changes. One outfit for breakfast tea, then she changed into her painting clothes. Another outfit for the afternoon to receive any guests and then formal wear for dinner. She was surprised to find out that even for the cook's night off, formal wear was required even though all they ate was macaroni and cheese and sat at the island in the kitchen.
The house was all a bustle of energy and goings on for the celebration of Christmas. Malcolm, the Landgraab's son was excited for Christmas morning and all his new toys. Geoffrey was looking forward to some much needed time off with his family. Nancy was very busy attending all the parties and galas, some of which she was involved in the planning. Christmas Eve, the family attended the annual Christmas gala at City Hall for the whole town. The event was packed and Maya, feeling uncomfortable in the crowd, feigned a headache and went back to the empty Landgraab home.
Standing by the Christmas tree in the formal living room, she felt out of sorts and more than a little sad. This was her first Christmas ever without her family and she wondered how everyone was at home in China. Which led her to thinking of Jin. Her mother had many Christmas traditions that Maya had grown up with and she wondered what things Ian would be doing with their son. Rubbing her temples she thought that perhaps she did have a headache after all. She walked to the window and said goodnight to her family, wishing them all well, and turned in for an early night.
The next morning she had only just risen when she head a knock at her bedroom door.
"Come in, " she replied.
"Merry Christmas." Nancy came in and gave her a big hug. "I have a present for you!"
"A present? For me? But we agreed no gifts."
"Oh. It's not from me dear. It came by messenger this morning. Open it up!"
Maya opened the card attached to the gift and read
To My Dearest Wife,
Merry Christmas Maya
So you never forget
Love you always
Ian
Maya gasped
"Oh, ah, I think I will open this later."
Nancy looked at her quizzically but turned to leave the room. "All right then. Breakfast is just about ready. See you in a few minutes."
When Nancy shut the door, Maya opened the box to reveal a beautiful silver heart locket, with purple gems and diamonds embedded in a line on the front. She opened it up to find a picture of her son and tears began to roll down her face. My beautiful boy! I will wear it always!
But wait! How did Ian know where she was?
Outside Maya's door, Nancy leaned her head quietly against the wood, listening to Maya opening her gift and softly crying. Ian would be pleased to know that she had such a reaction to seeing both the card and Jin's picture. It wasn't over! Maya just hadn't figured it out yet.
