“Oh my gosh, guys, it is so great to see you!” I exclaimed, wrapping my parents in a big hug. Breaking apart from them, I smiled and asked “What are you doing here? I thought you were going on a business trip!””We lied.” Dad replied. “Carly, Greg, and your Mom and I didn’t want you expecting that your Mom and I were going to be coming her for a couple of days for Christmas. We wanted you to be genuinely happy and surprised!””I am definitely those things!” I smiled, hugging my parents once more. “I am truly happy that you are here!” Breaking apart from Mom and Dad, I made my way over to my wonderful and amazing boyfriend, wrapped my arms around him, and gave him a big kiss on the lips.”Thank you, babe.” I smiled. “I love you.””I love you more.” Greg smiled, hugging me tighter.As Greg and I broke apart, Dad smiled and asked, “I don’t think we told you this, but there is one more person who was in on this surprise, and who is another surprise guest.””Who?” I wanted to know.”That would be me!” An all too familiar voice said from behind me.Turning around, I became face to face with my lifelong best friend, Gia.Moments later, we were smiling, squealing, running towards, and hugging one another.
