Kenny & Melissa
It was one of the only things she found magical about Christmas: the lights. When she heard there was going to be a bonfire in the woods with a few strands here and there, she decided she would go and make an appearance if only to spend time staring at the lights before going home. Everything else about Christmas did not suit her too much anymore, but she guessed a lot of this was because she was older and the only family she had was back in Chance Harbor. She had her friends here and that was similar, but still not the same and Melissa could not help, but feel the weight of that from time to time.
Arriving, Melissa made herself up a cup of hot cocoa with a few marshmallows and looked around to see if there were any familiar faces among the crowd. Not surprising, Melissa spotted one of her roommates, Kenny, wandering by himself and she decided to walk over and at least say "Hi". Taking a sip of her cocoa, she covered the distance to the young man quickly and offered him a smile. "Hey Kenny. What's up"?
