"Excuse me," there was knock at the front door. A head peeped in; the door wasn't locked, "Is Nina visiting?"
"It's my sister!" Nina was on her second sandwich as she gasped and a piece dropped out of her mouth. "Thanks for the food!" She stood up from her chair. She looked at his side of the table. "Hey, Andrew..." he only nibbled on the edges of the bread.
"Hmm? Oh, you can just leave the plate in the sink, thanks." You didn't finish your food.

Andrew walked the sisters to the front door. "Huh? You want me to come see the New Year fireworks with you?" Nina's sister and Andrew stood there chatting at the front door, "Well, won't I be in the way of the whole family?"
"It's absolutely okay! Right Nina?" She pulled her little sister over and used her head as an arm rest.
"Huh?!"
"Don't you want to start your new year with you beloved?" Her sister whispered to Nina. The little girl froze; her face was beet red. She didn't retaliate. "Do! Definite kill! Gather your courage! Be a brave kid!" Her sister, Mina, cheered her on in the background. She had a hobby of teasing her younger sister.
"Umm," the you girl staggered over to the adult man, "It's going to be our first time going to the fireworks in this town, so we don't really know where it is. If we're all together with Andrew, I think we'd feel better."
"Alright then, if you put it that way," he smiled gently.
"You said it! It's a promise then!" Mina interjected energetically. "Awesome! Let's go, Nina." The eleven year old turned around.
"Ah! That's right! Andrew," She ran back to him, "Will you promise to keep yourself warm today and go to sleep soon?"
He chuckled, "Yeah, sure."
"Thank you! See you again tomorrow!" Nina ran back to her sister.

It's been a long time since I last saw fireworks with on New Years with Andrew.

"Thanks sis!" She laughed.
"You owe me your pudding."
"Eh?!"
