"I know it's hard to tell with him, he's always Mr. Stoic, but he was probably being sarcastic." Honestly, Charlotte can't claim to know what was going on in Joel's mind when he suggested that monstrosity, but she has to believe that he wasn't being completely serious.
"I'll be there," she confirms with a nod. She's looking forward to it; she'll never admit it, but moving to Siren Cove has, at times, been tough. Not as tough as it could have been without Joel not around, granted. But as much as she was dying to get away, she still misses her parents home sometimes. Adjusting to a new life is a mixed bag, not all good and not all bad. Being surrounded by family, both old and new, has helped. And she knows that the people in her life now are going to make this Christmas one to remember. "And I'm glad to hear that," she adds. She hasn't actually tasted Spencer's cooking, but given his comment, there is probably a good reason for that. "We wouldn't want that lovely sweater to tragically catch fire in the kitchen now, would we?"
