Sarah had been keeping track of the days, but she hadn’t known that someone else was doing the same. It was only at that moment when she realized that Nick was right, it wasn’t too late! And with how downtrodden all of the adults had seemed lately, this was the perfect way to cheer them up! Maybe, just maybe, she would be able to see her dad smile for once. No matter how small a Christmas in this world might be, Sarah couldn’t help but allow the excitement to rush through her as she began talking a mile a minute, remembering what had been her favorite time of the year before. 

          “I found some decorations in the hall closet!” she rambled, her eyes bright and mirthful. “We can put them up and make the cabin look really cool and get everyone to help us! I think that would be a lot of fun. Maybe we can even find a Christmas tree! I think there were some ornaments in the box, too. And I still have my camera, so we can take a bunch of pictures! What do you think, Nick?”

A disbelieving scoff immediately met Nick’s words, and Luke gestured towards him as though intending to administer an instant rebuttal–but it fell flat.

 If he was to actually preserve his current freedom and not end up grounded for a month under parental eyes so scrutinous he felt like Hannibal Lecter in lockdown, he needed to do everything necessary to avoid smashing a bottle of pop’s prize scotch. Again. Why the hell’d they even have a step-stool that flimsy, anyway?

If I get 10 5 “voice”s, I (the mun) will record myself voice acting the character I roleplay.

“Uh—no. Absolutely zilch.”

  There was nothing about his answering grin and the perky stroll to the kitchen cupboard that wasn’t a boast. Even his half-lidded eyes  practically exuded the essence of lazy satisfaction in the face, despite the shadows beneath them. Reaching up, he nabbed one of the two cereal boxes and shoved his hand inside. “Dude, next time you see Monique, you give her two kisses and a fuckin’ serenade from me. That girl, her friend, Katy? Oh man.”
