... out of ritual. Underneath it all nothing was different. Dad still got d***k and was just as likely to beat her if she wasn't careful, Mom was just as impassive as ever, and back then, Patrick was just as mean. If the spirit of Christmas was supposed to come from within, she never saw any evidence of it affecting her f****y. Then when she had Colin and Christmas came around, she was determined for his sake to understand the true meaning of the day. Every year she put up decorations, played the music, bought meager gifts with the little money she had managed to save, and told Colin all the stories she knew about Santa and the reindeer, and Jesus and the manger and everything. He absorbed it all up and loved it. Every year as Christmas approached Colin would get so excited. It didn't matter if he got a little or a lot, he enjoyed the entire experience. The idea of Christmas was a treat for him. Then on Christmas day, she would watch Colin open his presents and she would take delight in the joy he got at getting the gifts. The f****y would spend the entire day together Aileen, Colin, Patrick, Sarah, their k**s, and Fred as well, during the years she was with him. Aileen's attention always stayed focused on Colin though. If anyone was infused with the spirit of the season, it was Colin. It didn't matter if no one else had the spirit in them, he had it in him.

Colin had a key to the building, but he also had one to the apartment, besides he was in his room. Patrick had keys to the building and apartment as well but that was only in case of an emergency. He always used the intercom to announce his presence when he came over. Aileen went to the door, "Who is it?" she asked. "Aileen?" said a deep, masculine voice from out in the hallway. The voice sounded a bit familiar. "Yes?" she said. "It's...it's Ben." Aileen was shocked. She couldn't believe it was him. "Ben? What are you doing here?" "I have to talk to you, will you let me in?" "I don't think so Ben, I told you, there's nothing else for us to talk about." "Yes there is. Please Aileen...could you...will you at least open the door? Please?" Aileen sighed and unlocked the door, but left the chain on. The door opened about two inches before the chain grew taut. She looked through the opening and saw for the first time the real Ben. He was a little taller than average, he was balding, what little hair he had left was black going gray, and he had a sizable pot belly. Giving him my phone number was bad enough, but giving him my address was pure idiocy! she ...
