"Everyone's gone home..." She sighed deeply, hating the harsh reality of how her Christmas was going to play out. "They've all been there for weeks... But I didn't finish with exams till last Thursday, and then when I got to the airport on Saturday, the place was full even though I was supposed to have a seat." She had never ever missed a Christmas with her family before - she had ever been anywhere but on the Island and she wasn't keen on the idea of starting any new traditions now. -- Realistic Dreams: The Present : The Beach
