"Hey, Ronny. Merry Christmas," he said as his brother answered. "Get anything good?" He smiled faintly at the reply. "Oh, yeah? You'll have to tell me about it after you play it, maybe I'll pick it up. Are mom or dad nearby?" He waited for the phone to change hands, glancing over to John to give him a small, rueful smile.
"Hi, mom. Merry Christmas. Yeah, I know, I miss you guys too. Actually, I did. I'm in Paris right now. Cool, huh?" He listened to his mother's reply and mouthed, 'oh, God,' to himself, but into the phone said brightly, "Yeah, sure, that'd be pretty cool. Maybe next year." His hand sought John's as he took a deep breath and said, "Listen, mom, there's something I need to tell you guys."
