Soon, Michelle and Lewis were entering second grade. There was still no sign of the man who made them blind, but they had gotten used to it. Both knew fluent Braille, and they were best friends.

It was Christmas time, and it was a Christmas party at the Munch-Tutuola household. The whole gang was there, including Vicki, Sandy, and Lewis.

Michelle was wearing a pretty red dress with green ribbons. She looked like a little lady. Lewis looked nice too. He went to sit next to her and felt her dress. "Your dress is soft."

"Thank you."

They were all sitting in the den. Lewis handed Michelle a box. "I got you a present."

"Thank you!" She felt for the opening in the paper. It was a book.

"There's Braille on the front."

She felt it. "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe? I wanted to read this. Thank you." The others tried to hide their awes as she hugged him. "Daddy John, where's my gift for Lewis?"

John handed her a book and she gave it to Lewis. "Here's your present."

Lewis felt it. "Harry Potter! This is the one I don't have. Thank you!"

He hugged her again.

John turned to Vicki. "That was nice of you."

Vicki shook her head. "It was Lewis' idea. He even picked out the book."

"Same with Michelle."

They looked at them, who were eating cookies. They certainly did look cute.

Elliot and Olivia hung some mistletoe in the doorway. They kissed. "Mistletoe."

"What's mistletoe?" Lewis asked.

"It's a plant you hang in the door." Vicki said. "If someone gets caught with you under the mistletoe, you have to give them a kiss."

"Can I feel it?"

They handed Lewis the mistletoe and he felt it with Michelle. Everyone smiled and chuckled softly as Lewis held it up and kissed Michelle. They blushed a little.

John and Fin shook their heads, grinning. The party went on smoothly, until they felt it was time to go home.

Sandy came up to everyone. "Psst!" She whispered. "Come look, but be quiet!"

They went to the other room, where they saw Michelle leaning against Lewis, both sound asleep. Fin smiled and put a blanket over them. "They can stay here tonight, if you want. We have a guest room." He whispered.

"If it's not too much trouble." Vicki whispered back.

The next morning, Michelle and Lewis were reading their books at the table. "Okay, Lewis, time to go."

"Oh, do I have to?"

She laughed. "Yeah, it's time to go."

"Okay. Bye, Michelle. Love you."

"Love you too." She touched his hand. The two couples looked to each other in surprise. They smiled and said goodbye.

After they left, John and Fin walked out of the kitchen. "Did you hear that?"

Fin nodded. "Maybe it's fate."

"If anything…I hope it works out for them."

Fin kissed his lover gently. "Me too, John. Me too."
