Time skip to Christmas morning.
Skye Pov

I wake up at 5:30 am sharp, slipping on my slippers and robe before brushing my hair and heading downstairs. I take out my phone, softly playing Christmas music as I get to cooking breakfast.

"What the hell? What are you-" Jared mumbles, rubbing his eyes tiredly as he walks into the kitchen. "Oh, there's food, okay then. Merry Christmas Skye."

"Merry Christmas to you too Jared." I reply, turning my attention back turning back to the food cooking on the stove.

"Here Skye, this last present is from Tom." Gen tells me, then she hands me a medium sized flat box.

I open it, and inside there's a simple necklace with a single diamond. I quickly put it on, smiling happily.

After all of us put our presents away and have picked up our trash, I head back to bed to catch a little bit more sleep before I have to start packing.

I sigh, zipping up the last off my stuff into my suitcase. My flight leaves tomorrow at noon, and I'm still pretty tired.

I click shuffle on my calm music playlist before curling up into a ball under the covers. The first song to play is You Are My Sunshine by Jimmie Davis.

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
And I hung my head and I cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another
You'll regret it all some day

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

You told me once, dear, you really loved me 
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me and love another
You have shattered all my dreams

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
