With the mild weather, a picnic had seemed like a brilliant idea for when Oliver came to lunch, however, when the morning rain had turned into continuous showers, it didn’t seem all that likely. Isla, however, was still very set on having a picnic, so while she had set the table – a red and white checkered tablecloth – on the living room floor, Alicia had filled the picnic hamper with bottles of lemonade a decent selection of different sandwiches.

When there was a knock on the door, both of them stopped, Isla looking up at Alicia with surprise painted on her face. “Who do you think that is?” Alicia asked, and couldn’t help but smirk to keep her laughter hidden when Isla answered “Santa!”

“Close,” she chuckled. “Want to try again?”

With a nod Isla thought for a moment; they had talked about this earlier. “Oliver?” she tried.

Alicia smiled and nodded towards the door. “Why don’t you go take a look, and don’t forget to let him in, alright?”

Though the weather wasn't quite as ideal as on past Saturdays - there was a slight chill to the Scottish air, as well as the threat of rain in the grey clouds overhead - Merrill, Roger, and Violet were ensconced in the garden by 5:00 p.m. As narrow as the townhome (though long in length), the green space was wild with colour - and well-stocked with food and beverage, now.
