How long did Clark have to stay out on the rescue? How long was Lois in the apartment?
The staircase seems endless. But she knows that there are only a few steps left. The apartment is dark, dawn hasn’t broken yet. Daddy’s surely still asleep. Becca cannot really understand how he’s able to sleep on such a morning.
Hope Santa’s already come.
Becca doesn’t hurt herself and her Daddy doesn’t wake up. She looks over to the beautiful tree, admiring the result of her work for a second, before her glance wanders down, to the bottom of the tree.
Nope! He hasn’t come yet. Is Becca up in the middle of the night?
“And that’s why you think you didn’t get presents?” he asks softly.
Somehow Becca gets the impression that he’s trying not to laugh. But why should he want to laugh?
Ah, poor Becca…
Ah, how sweet… But she didn’t actually get to ‘open’ a present?
