#WriteCBC task from @jessicabull.bsky.social: Write an exchange in which a character says one thing but communicates something else entirely. Allow your narrator to draw their own conclusions as to what is really being said. Extra points if you make it festive!

A steaming mist arose, ice met fire; Ella faced her long-lost brother.
‘Jack. You’re back.’ She cried joyfully.

Tom grinned with relief.
‘Look! Pa’s said sorry. Can he come now?’
But the look on aunt J’s face was so sour, Tom knew she wouldn’t let his pa take him home for Christmas.
Aunt J snatched the postcard, ripping it up as Tom watched, wondering how to escape and find his pa.
