I’m so happy to be at Ness’ I made it safe to Ness’. It was my first side-along apparation and I’m not sure I enjoyed it much it wasn’t too bad, but definitely not not as nice as flying would’ve been
Happy winter, Malikhi!
I hope things are nicegoing well good for you! I’m happy to not be at homebe at Ness’ be on break, I’m sure you are too!
Nothing can quite beat your mom’s brownies but I fully intend to eat as much else as I can this next few weeks. It’s way too hard It’s nice to pick my own meal times have a kitchen open all day!
I don’t know what to say.
Evelyn put down her quill and went to bed.
Day 2

Hey Linney,
I hope you’re having a fun Christmas break and that everything is okay at Ness’with Ness’ family with you. This year, me and Mum me and my family are staying in America with my Aunt Delilah. I don’t like it It’s very strange different.
I don’t know what to do, Linney. Everything’s gone wrong.
Malikhi drew in a shaky breath as tears began to well in his eyes. He couldn’t send this.
Day 5
Kai Dear Malikhi,
Hey,
I still haven’t heard from you I hope things are well. I don’t want to bother youI hope you don’t think I’m ignoring you I’ve been wanting to write for a few days since break started but wasn’t sure what to say about any of thiswasn’t sure if you wanted to hear from me didn’t want to interrupt your vacation!
Evelyn pushed aside the half-written letter, not sure what else to say.
Day 8
Linney,
I really wish you were hereWhy haven’t I heard from you?Has something happened to you too? The truth is, I feel like the world has ended. I was in a car crash on the first day of break and I’m fine but my Dad died and I can’t seem to tell you any of this because I don’t want to ruin your break.
Malikhi threw down his quill, hot and angry tears spilling over his cheeks. If he couldn’t talk to Evelyn, how could he talk to anybody?
Day 10
Malikhi,
I’m not sure how to make it okay that everything suck so much with my family. I’m so happy to be here and I feel like I shouldn’t be. What do I do? Miss you.
Evelyn crumpled up the paper, surprised to find a flicker of magic in her palms and the letter turned to ash a moment later.
Christmas Day
Merry Christmas, Kai.
Merry Christmas, Linney.
Lyn
Malikhi
Evelyn sat on a borrowed bed, reading a letter that was almost exactly the same as her own, and wondered when the world had become so complicated.
Malikhi lay curled up under his duvet, Evelyn’s letter clutched tightly in his hands. He couldn’t help but ask why everything had become so hard..
