E🫶🏻’s Reviews > A Heart for Christmas: My Advent Novel > Status Update

April & her parents had the Favres round for Christmas Eve as their power went out, meaning that Eva, Jimmy, Augustin, April, April’s parents & Eva’s were there! April’s dad accepted Augustin finally and April’s parents might’ve got back together! They all ate together happily, & after the meals they did karaoke and opened gifts. Augustin’s gift to April was a polished wooden heart to give her strength.

Augustin was on her balcony and April let him in and they talked for a while about what they’d said to eachother. They then spent the night together and April woke him up the next morning to speak with her parents together. He was scared her dad would hate him. They went downstairs and surprisingly April’s mum was ok with them and it was April’s dad who had a problem. April said he’d accept it or lose her.

An avalanche hit overnight and Eva came over saying that Augustin hasn’t came home. April & Her parents, Eva & her parents & Jimmy were all panicking trying to find him. Eventually they learnt that he was safe, however Jimmy had been badly injured by it but was ok. April is still blocked by Agustin and Eva told her that he had came home after all of it. Just as she went to bed someone knocked on her balcony door.

April woke up in the hospital yet again. She was hooked up to heart monitors & was unable to sleep due to nurses poking and prodding at her every 2 hours. She forgot her phone charger & was so bored until Augustin arrived. He blames himself for what happened to her but she blames herself. Eva came with her dad & they made up. Her mum came after and gave a speech’s about being careful and to stop seeing Augustin.

April had a row with both of her parents about not telling them where she was last night. Even her mum phoned her and got angry at her. She wanted to go skiing with Augustin to blow off some steam and it was busy so she suggested a backcountry route. It was going well and she was feeling great until they neared the end. She started feeling dizzy, she fell into the snow, said she couldn’t breathe and passed out.

Aprils mum texts her to talk about the argument the next day and she finds a note from her dad saying that he’ll take her to a restaurant for dinner. To take her mind off the argument from earlier, April takes a walk into town where she meets Jeff and he kind of apologises to her. April goes to talk about Augustin’s reputation with girls with him and they spend the night at a family friend’s chalet together

Eva and April had a massive argument and Eva is refusing to talk to April. Jimmy apologises and goes to find Eva. Later on the next day, April runs into Eva at the blue yeti and tries to mend things. It just makes it worse as Eva continues saying that Augustin only wants her because she’s pretty and will be a quick fling. Her parents then try to talk to her about it.

Augustin took April skiing to help get her confidence back up on some basic slopes. They had a great time although she fell over a lot. They went up to a viewing bridge that was shut and got told off by the guard. Jimmy and Eva saw them kissing and Eva was fuming with April.
