Lucas walks down the hall to a bedroom door and puts his hand on the knob. He takes a deep breath and opens it. Adrienne lays sound asleep in the bed, he smiles and pulls the door back shut. Sonny walks up behind him.
Sonny: Lucas?
Lucas: Sonny hey.
Sonny: I didn't know you were here.
Lucas: Henderson let me in, I hope it's okay?
Sonny: Oh sure, absolutely.
Lucas: Good. I was hoping to have a moment with your mom but I saw she's resting.
Sonny: Yeah, she started feeling pretty rough earlier after the treatments.
Lucas: Well hopefully she feels better by Christmas day. The staff has the place looking very festive.
Sonny smiles and nods.
Lucas: But hey, I'll just tell you my news if you wouldn't care to relay it to her?
Sonny: Of course.
Lucas: My sister Billie called from Europe, she invited me to come for Christmas and I accepted.
Sonny: You're going to Europe?
Lucas: I know it's sudden, but I could use a change of scenery for a few days. Plus I haven't seen Billie since she was in Salem last.
Sonny: I understand completely, I'll be sure to tell mom.
He pats him on the back.
Lucas: I appreciate it.
Sonny: No problem.
Lucas: Well, I'd better head over and pack. You all have a Merry Christmas.
He starts to walk off.
Sonny: Hey Lucas.
He stops and turns around.
Sonny: Uh, I just wanted to thank you again.
Lucas: For?
Sonny: Your decision last week, about giving mom space while she gets treatment.
Lucas: It's the least I could do Sonny. I love your mom, but she needs to concentrate on getting better.

An hour later Lucas walks down the stairs holding a suitcase. The door opens and Jennifer walks in holding a stack of presents.
Lucas: Whoa, let me give you a hand.
Jennifer: Oh Lucas thank you!
They take the presents and put them under the tree.
Lucas: Looks like you went all out this year!
Jennifer: Most are for Thomas, but isn't that what a grandmother is supposed to do?
He smiles.
Lucas: It's hard to believe sometimes, us being grandparents now.
Jennifer: I know it! It seems like just yesterday I was a little girl opening presents in this room on Christmas morning.
Lucas: Great memories.
She notices the suitcase at the bottom of the stairs.
Jennifer: Is that your suitcase?
Lucas: Um, yeah.
Jennifer: Are you going somewhere?
Lucas: Billie called earlier.
Jennifer: Oh? How is she?
Lucas: She's well. But she invited me for Christmas and I accepted.
Jennifer: In Europe?
Lucas: Yes, my plane leaves in an hour.
Jennifer: I see.
She turns and looks at the tree.
Lucas: I'm sorry, I know it's so sudden.
Jennifer: No it's fine, just unexpected.
Lucas: I haven't seen Billie in a while now and I figured getting away for a few days could help.
Jennifer: Did you tell Adrienne?
Lucas: I went there and she was sleeping, but I told Sonny and he is going to tell her.
Jennifer: Well, I know everyone is going to miss you. I was just talking to Aunt Maggie in the car, Caroline has invited everyone to the pub for Christmas Eve.
Lucas: I'm sure it will be wonderful.
Jennifer: But before you go.
She grabs a present from under the tree and hands it to him.
Lucas: Oh Jen, you didn't have to do this.
Jennifer: Go ahead and open it.
He unwraps it to see his favorite cologne.
Lucas: Hey! Just in time to, I'm almost out.
They hug.
Jennifer: Merry Christmas Lucas.
Lucas: Merry Christmas Jen.

Lucas walks down the aisle and takes his seat. He looks out the plane window and watches the snow flurries fall. He sighs and takes his ticket out. He looks at the destination again: Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Lucas: I hated to lie, but nobody can know where I'm really going.
