“Will you agree to our terms?” Sawyer asked. “If not, despite your feeling or intuition or whatever it is, we’ll have to insist you move closer to the others. We are responsible for you, and we can’t do a good job with that at this distance.”

They’d had this argument with my grandmother, but she’d been older and tougher and actually did have someone living with her. Me.
“Very well. Right after Christmas.”
I could see them both ready to argue, but I waved my hand at them. “I’ve been here all this time alone, and nobody will want to move right now with all the celebrations beginning. They will want to be with their families and friends.” And maybe in all the happy chaos, I could conveniently forget, or take my time deciding who…or whatever it took to keep from having an unwelcome roommate who would probably be just as unhappy about the whole thing as I was. “Agreed?”
They shared another silent communication then faced me again and nodded. “Very well.” Tadeo stood. “Thank you for the tea. Analise would like to invite you to join us on Christmas Eve.”
The most romantic night of the year? When the three of them should be alone celebrating their love and exchanging gifts of affection. “I think I’m busy that night.”

“All right.” That should be fine. And I really didn’t want to be all alone on that day. “But I’ll see you all at the Yule run anyway.” We did celebrate Christmas but also the Winter Solstice. The two-natured often did celebrate the older holidays as well as more modern. And tonight was a rare full-moon night coinciding with the Solstice.
I saw them out and returned to prepare my contribution to the event. Wolves, for some reason, were big on potlucks.
