Chance was excited to see Hayley. Christmas was one of his favorite times of the year too, spending so much time with his whole family, lots of time with friends, and everyone being so nice to each other in general.
And spending it with someone he loved... because he did love her, was that much better. They were getting together early because they both had family obligations for the holidays and Chance wanted to give Hayley her present while she was in full on holiday spirit mode. He opened the door to his loft and immediately scooped Hayley up into a big hug, giving her a kiss.
