Winter Break Arc

(POV: Lumiere)
Garret downed his mug of beer, the satisfying taste washing over his tongue as he slammed the empty vessel onto the sturdy wooden table. Exhaling deeply, he stood up and turned to Ress, beckoning him to join him.
"We should get going," he told Ress.
"Huh?" I said. "Wait, you guys are leaving so soon?" I asked.
I wasn't necessarily disappointed, but it was just so abrupt. I could've done something like this to Garret— leaving during a conversation with someone I hadn't seen for some time. But it was unusual for him to do it because he was always so friendly.
Garret flashed me a grin. "Yeah, we have to meet with Genevieve," he replied.
"Oh, I see," I responded. But then Garret surprised me with an invitation. "Hey, you can come with us, if you want!" he exclaimed. "We can all go see her together."
