Christmas Break was an occasion to relax for a lot of students. Lucas' classes had been full of people talking about ritzy vacations to cool places, about plans to shop and go to parties. That wasn't how he was spending his break, though. For Luke, a break from classes meant a chance to pick up more extra shifts at work.
He didn't think Ashley was very happy about it. He knew she missed him, but no matter how much he would love to take a real break and spend some time with her, he just couldn't afford it. He didn't especially love having to work so much, but his family needed the money.
He'd finished his shift at the bowling alley and had plans to take a quick nap before he had to be at his other job at Crab Landing, but it seemed his little sister had other plans. She hasn't finished her Christmas shopping and she was begging him to take her today the moment he walked through the door. Luke really wanted that nap, but he could never refuse her anything she wanted.
She'd allowed him his shower first, at least, and then they were off to the mall. He helped her pick out things for their mom and he carried the bags as she bought little gifts for her friends. One thing he couldn't help with, though, was his own gift.
"I'll meet you at the coffee place in half an hour or so, okay?" she informed him. Lucas agreed. He had his shopping done already, so he made his way to the coffee place by the food court and ordered something filled with caffeine and sugar at the counter. Somehow he managed to juggle the many bags on his arms while taking the coffee from the barista, but it would probably be a miracle if he made it to a table without spilling it.
