It was 1 Christmas day. Kayleen had 2 invited 3 her boyfriend 4 Hugo over for Christmas dinner. He arrived a little after 1:00. He was carrying a big plastic 5 bag. He put the bag on the floor inside 6 her front door. She looked at the bag, but she didn’t ask what was in it. They had already 7 agreed 8 not to give each other gifts; they were trying to save 9 money for a down payment 10 on a house after they got 11 married 12. They hugged 13 each other.
Hugo asked Kayleen to give him a kiss 14. "No," she said 15. He asked her if she knew what day it was. Of course 16, she replied 17; it was Christmas day. No, he told her, it was actually 18 “Kissmas” day—that’s why she should kiss him. She laughed, and gave 19 him a big kiss. She went back into the kitchen to continue 20 with her dinner preparation 21. He turned on the bedroom TV and hoped 22 that there was something interesting to watch; five minutes later 23, his nose was in a book.
A while 24 later, Kayleen entered 25 the bedroom and said, “Let’s go for a walk in the park.” It was a beautiful day—blue sky, some white clouds, and about 66 degrees 26. Who needs snow when you can have this, Hugo thought 27.
