Christmas, in April's book, was a day for lounging around in one's pajamas, drinking eggnog, and making unimpressed faces when her parents gifted her things like brightly-colored sweaters with bunnies on them. In other words, it was boring.
It did bear mentioning, however, that this particular Christmas had been a bit more interesting than those of previous years, and that was because April had a guest. Her parents found this unbelievably exciting, Rita doting over Jono while Larry asked him friendly questions about what life was like in England and whether it was true that they didn't have french fries there. Meanwhile, April's younger sister Natalie had chosen a different tactic: leaning up close to Jono and very quietly telling him details about herself.
If that was a form of flirting, April didn't want to know.
The day after Christmas, however, the rest of her family was already out shopping, which meant Jono got a break from all of that. On this chilly Wednesday morning, April could be found on the living room couch in her pajamas with her dog Cliff curled up beside her, drinking spiked hot chocolate as the snow tumbled down outside. She was also sendingmoddable nonsensical text messages to random contacts in her phone, because... when was that not fun?
