Hopefully, he’ll just let it go this time. I don’t want anyone fighting because of me. I take that moment to change the subject and get back to putting the dress on.
“Are you going home for Christmas break?”
“I planned on it. You are staying here, I assume?”
Frowning, I say, “Yes. Looks like it’s me and a book celebrating Christmas together.”
“That sounds very boring.”
I pull the dress down and grab the little golden crown with leaves on it and place it in my hair. “Thanks, it sounds like you really care.”
“I mean, I don’t. I was just saying it sounds boring.”
“Part of me actually looks forward to everyone else being gone. Are you ready to go?”
“Yes, let’s go make heads spin.”
The only head that will spin tonight is mine when I go Carrie mode on everyone at this party.
