A Stamford Christmas Carol pt 6
Greenwich...
"Paul? Wake up?"
"Huh? Debra?" He groaned.
"Who the hell is Debra?" Stephanie shrieked.
"Huh? Oh, it was a dream. Never mind. What time is it?"
"11am. Get dressed. We have to go to my parent's Christmas Eve lunch. I swear, I know this engagement isn't ideal, but you don't have to call me other women's names, Paul." She stomped off to her room leaving him confused.
"It was a dream. None of it was real." He tried to convince himself as he got up and headed for the stairs.
Kansas City...
Amy smiled as she read Mick Foley's Christmas book to the children at the Kansas City Children's hospital. They loved the pictures and were more than excited to see her there on Christmas Eve. "Okay kids, you all have a happy holiday and stay strong. I have to get going now." She hugged a few of the kids and gathered her things to leave.
"Thank you for coming Ms. Lita. It really means a lot to the kids to have visitors this time of year." A nurse smiled. "So you're heading home now?"
"Actually, I'm not sure. It's snowing now, so I should go straight to the airport, but I have another meeting first which I may have to cancel. Our schedules are always so up in the air, it's hard to say where I'll be in five minutes. Thank you for having me. I'll tell Matt all about it." She quickly threw on her coat and tried to get out to her waiting cab before she was held up again. "Can we put on the weather report, please? Thanks so much."
"Kansas City airport is reporting minor delays on instate flights. This is expected this time of year, but we can only expect more nationwide delays once the storm moves in this afternoon…"
"Turn it off please. Can we just go straight to the airport? I really need to get home." She nearly begged before calling the animal shelter to reschedule her appearance.
