Deck the Isle - Allie Boniface
Emmy
I can’t believe you’re leaving.
Emmy hugged her best friend and tried not to cry as the cab honked outside. I mean, really, really leaving.
I’ll be back,
Liza said.
No, you won’t.
"I’ll be back to visit, Liza amended as she gave Emmy one last squeeze.
I promise."
You better.
Emmy forced on a brave smile and watched her go.
Outside, gentle flakes of snow coated the ground. Bright green pine garlands and red bows decorated the lamps along Harbor Street. In less than a week, Christmas would arrive. At exactly noon on Christmas Eve, Santa would ride his sleigh into town, pulled by two authentic reindeer that Wind and Water Farm always loaned for the occasion. Crazy Jake would serve spiked wassail and eggnog at the Anchor and the Mermaid for the carolers who strode up and down Harbor Street with pink noses and mostly in-tune voices. The two churches on the island would glow with candlelight and song, and islanders would wrap themselves in down comforters while they sat in front of roaring fires and told stories about favorite Christmases from years past.
Normally this was Emmy’s favorite time of year. Drake Isle outdid itself when it came to the holidays, and Christmas was no exception. Since her days as a college student, she’d loved the extravagance of the weeks leading up to it: the food, the festivities, the way the storefronts outdid themselves, the quiet magic when everything went dark and quiet
