Sarah went to the family room and placed presents she got for her family members under one of the Christmas trees. They have two massive Christmas trees, decorated with red and white ornaments and silver garlands, one on each side of the fireplace. Stella does a great job in getting the Christmas spirit into their home.
Sarah headed to the dining room and saw six people seated for breakfast. She observed that her uncle Owen is there, and he looked like he didn't sleep well. Lexi was nowhere to be seen.
"Merry Christmas!" She wished everybody and took a seat next to Aiden.
They all returned the greeting. Besides Owen's depressed looks, everyone else looked cheerful.
"Uncle Owen, I don't see Lexi. Is she still sleeping?" Sarah asked her uncle innocently.
He looked troubled. "She left last night." That was the only thing he said before lowering his head and sipping his coffee.
