She had three large airy rooms, and her bedroom had floor-to-ceiling windows and a balcony she could sit out on to watch the sunrise each morning. Finding her way around the huge campus was difficult, she wasn’t as confident without her friends and everyone seemed to know everyone she felt very isolated and alone.

I’ll see you tomorrow if that’s okay?’They both nodded and turned away heading down the stairs closing the door she locked it and then sank onto her bed curling into a ball she cried herself to sleep, she hadn’t seen or heard from him for almost a year but still Dante haunted her dreams.The next day she was very quiet in all their classes and also avoided all the ‘Jocks’ especially Jamie by staying close to Anna and Antonio and trying to be invisible and she was pleased he did not push it. For his part, Jamie thought it was because she was shy and like most of the British people he knew, a little uptight. So he would give her a little space but only for a short while, he was so confident in his ability to persuade her to give him a chance that he provided the oppo

So, Missy, get your bags packed right this minute.

She had drunk at least four of them and was beginning to feel warm and fuzzy happily joining in with the others dancing crazily in the large lounge of the house that had been emptied of furniture for the purpose. She was wearing a short, emerald green satin dress that clung to her slender figure and brought out the colour in her eyes, her long hair was loose and she wore silly, flashing reindeer earrings. At first Anna and Antonio stuck close to her dancing and talking but they wanted a little time for themselves, they had just taken their friendship to the next level. Gabriella continued dancing and it did not take long for some of the young guys there started making passes at her.

I can never thank you enough for your hospitality.’ Anna’s mother enveloped her in yet another maternal hug, she had been very tactile as had all of Anna’s relatives, they were a typical loud, loving Italian family and included Gabriella in everything. ‘Child your gift to us was reminding us of the true spirit of Christmas, that we are Blessed and because of that we must give a little back to those in need at this time of family and friends.
