Anna Ainsworth only went to Riverside Mansions after lunch on Christmas. If it hadn't been for Jeanette Warren coming to find her and reminding her that Chris Ainsworth should have a place in Bay City, Anna almost forgot she had this house.
Last night, Christmas Eve, Jeremy Thompson had made dinner with her at her place. It was the first time she and Chris Ainsworth spent Christmas Eve together, and Jeremy Thompson unexpectedly joined them. The family gathered around to eat dumplings in harmony, but Xavier was missing, which did sting a bit with regret.
That morning, she and Jeremy Thompson had dropped Chris Ainsworth off at the Filming Training Centre together. Chris was as excited as a child, without a hint of sorrow at parting, only babbling about becoming an actor, which he saw as a highly respected profession.
