WHEN CHRISTMAS COMES CALLING
She was excited and nervous at the same time. Excited, because she got a break from her stressful reporter job at NYC Times, and nervous because.....well...
Beatrice was the first of 4 girls & she was in her early thirties. Their mom passed on 2 years ago - a year after their Dad died. All her sisters were married with kids. But Tris, as she was fondly called, wasn't into relationships. she felt ashamed that she was still single being the first child and this would have made her gone to Venice with her gay colleague and best friend, Chris, for the holidays. But Mom made them promise to spend Christmas together for as long as they would live.
As beautiful, hardworking, responsible and intelligent as she was, the only men who approached her were obviously only after her money, this made her feel it was a bad decision to acquire such wealth as a single lady..
Well...she'll enjoy the holiday for as long a it would last while hoping for the best in the coming year
