I peer at myself in the bathroom mirror and run a hand through the meticulously styled curls. Hadlee did an amazing job, but it feels off. I miss my unruly mane of mismatched curls, but she’d be furious if I doused them. My stomach tightens in anticipation of tonight, and I flop my hair the opposite way.
“Jana, they’re here!” Hadlee calls from the living room. I take one last, deep breath and tug at the hem of my sweater. It’s the only Christmas sweater I could find in my size—bright red with snowflakes and a reindeer woven into it.
Leaving the bathroom, I drop my phone on my bed and hurry into the hallway. There’s a soft knock on the front door, and I shoot a glare at Hadlee.
“What? I heard his truck pull up.”
“Can you please be on your best behavior?”
