He picked up his hot chocolate and used the mug to warm his hands, and just stared into it for a moment. "Juno went, though, and then she went up to my room. I, um, I'm glad you think I'm doing this okay."
He took a sip of his cocoa before he continued. "It was me, Juno, Oliver, Edwin, and some new chick. I forgot her name, because she was freaking me out. It was a guy name. Maybe Chuck?" He shrugged. "It was awesome, though. I really want to go sledding. Did you see it all?" He pointed towards the window. "The snow is amazing."
