Not a guest, but a hostage

Christmas songs were still being blasted loudly in the air, coming out of different apartments and buildings. Everywhere one passed, they would hear the occasional 'merry Christmas or happy new year' greetings from happy strangers. Despite it being day and the two suns shining brightly, Christmas lights outside and inside were shining brightly. They were wrapped around artificial trees of different colors. 

Carolyn and her people were certainly making a killing this season because the celebrations were in full swing and orders for trees and lights were still coming in. She was walking around with quite the smile on her face. 

Scarlet smiled because Mina called it the 'I am getting some smile'. The smile was attributed more to Markey's presence than the impressive number of sales.
