Her eyes were rather grayer than usual; had she known this, Helena would have assumed it was nerves, and it was.... mostly.
"
You should probably come in if you don't want to get cold. Or maybe I will just have to throw more snow at you." Chris said smiling as he teased Lena. As she came in he shut the door, when he turned back around he saw Melinda tense up. Oh no this wasn't good. "
It's really no problem." He said.

Melinda hugged Chris back, still nodding to what he had said. She was confused. No matter what happens tonight? The night was going to be long, it seemed. As the door knock was heard, she let go of Chris and felt the kiss, then saw him attend the door.
Lena was home, with the Kaplans. Mel tensed up, took a deep breath and smiled. "Happy Christmas, Lena..." She said, trying to sound as honest as possible.
It was Nick to save the day. He walked out of the kitchen and were Melinda,Chris and the girl he didn't know were. He went over to Melinda and held her hand smiling up to her. "Chris mum said dinner will be ready soon." He told him. "Hi." He said to Lena a bit shyly which wasn't like him.
"
Lena this is Nick my brother. Nick this is Lena a friend from school." He told them.
