Read the passage.
Celeste watched as Li packed her suitcase, placing
sweaters on top of pants, gently wrapping shoes in plastic
bags so they wouldn't dirty the clothes. As Li placed the
last item inside, her gaze rose to her sister and she smiled,
yet the smile did not reach her eyes. "You know I'll be back
in December, Celeste. It's not that long." She reached out to
flip Celeste's long, blond braid behind her shoulder, a
gesture she had repeated countless times over the years.
Celeste sighed and blinked away tears, grabbing her
sister's hand and pressing it against her cheek.
