If only.
If only she were truly her granddaughter, how wonderful would that be?
The happy days are always fleeting.
Soon, the weekend came.
Viola Thompson had to get ready to return to River City, as she had classes to attend on Monday.
Mrs. Thompson also needed to return to Capital City.
Upon learning that Viola had no relatives nearby, Mrs. Thompson said, "Viola, come to Capital City for the winter break. You can spend the New Year's holiday at Grandma Thompson's house. There will be many people and it will be very lively."
"Thank you, but I have other things to deal with during the winter break. I'll visit you in Capital City when I have the time."
"Alright," Mrs. Thompson nodded, "it's settled then."
"Okay."
Mrs. Thompson continued, "The winter break starts next week, right?"
Viola nodded slightly, "There are five more days of classes."
"It'll be here soon."
Winter break wasn't far off, and neither was the New Year's holiday.
