Nan: "What are you doing in here?"
Dan: "I heard you crying. What's wrong?"
She then told him how her father had canceled on her.
Dan: "I'm sorry". It was simple but all he had to say.
Nan: "Thank you". It meant so much to her to know that some one cared.
Christmas Eve
-------------------------------------------------------
Everyone was singing as Nat played his violin. The song end everyone clapped and told Nat what a great job he had done. Ever since that night, Nan and Dan had become closer and Mrs. Jo noticed this. As did Bess, so she came up with a plan. That night after every one had gone to bed she got up and put up mistletoe in every doorway. Some way they would have to kiss. Little did she know while she was putting up mistletoe Dan had come into their room.
Dan: "Nan?"
Nan: "Dan? What are you doing in here?"
Dan: "I had to tell you something."
Nan: "What?"
Dan: "I, uh, I really like you" Nick had helped him with his courage.
Nan: "You do?! I like you too." Mrs. Jo had helped her.
They heard Bess finishing up downstairs, so he gave her a quick kiss and left.
Christmas Morning
-------------------------------------------------------
All the children were up earlier than usual. They all ran down to the parlor. They all got to open one present before they ate. Nan opened Dan's, and it was a gold locket.
Nan: "Oh Dan, I love it!"
Dan: "I thought you would like it."
They sat there for a minuet staring at each other when all of the sudden they heard several people say at the same time.
Rob, Emil, and Tommy: "Kiss her already."
They looked at each other, and then kissed.
