Annoyed at having her big city plans derailed, and even more so at her parents’ rash decision to sell their home, she races home and arrives just in time to enjoy the epically decorated main foyer, spiral staircase, and various living areas in all their holiday glory. The crown jewel of all the decorations is the gigantic 20 foot tree in the front hallway, adorned simply with brilliant white lights and hundreds of dazzling red envelopes.
After hugging it out with her parents she quickly launches into her spiel on why they shouldn’t sell the house - it’s gorgeous, it’s a mansion - it’s tradition! She also reprimands them for springing it on her all while she’s about to become even more of a BFD (big fucking deal) at work. They clap back by scolding her for never visiting, and for not having grandkids! How dare she complain about them giving up the house when she never comes to visit and doesn’t seem to have any plans of filling it with grandkids.
They put a pin in their conversation at the sound of the doorbell. Kej flings the door open to reveal…
Her childhood boyfriend! He’s there to drop off some firewood for her parents’ many fireplaces (told you it was an epic mansion). His family owns the firewood business in town and so it’s the least he can do as a parting gift before they go. He seems just as surprised to see her as she is to see him.
The hot young realtor! He’s there to take some staging photos for the house listing. He seems just as surprised to see her as she is to see him.
