maybe she is nervous. never dated anyone before, so meeting family had never been . . . she wouldn't say it was a problem. because it wasn't one in theory. something she never had to worry about however. if they would like her. if they'd get along. if they just didn't like her for some reason out of her control. because these people : she would see them again. hopefully, she'd have them in her life for a very very long time & getting off on the wrong foot wasn't great. a little more silent than usual on the drive over, picking on her nails while watching their surroundings change and nerves only seem to grow when he turn off the main road and drive towards a house, sinking into her seat even more if possible.     ❝   what if they don't like me ?   ❞      never met someone's parents like this. friends' parents, sure. not boyfriends parent. and sister. suck in a deep breath before looking over at him & brows pinch together.

❛ ❛ i got pumpkins. ❜ ❜ ava leans on the doorframe, peering over at alex with a sweet little smile on her face. convincing him to carve pumpkins with her might be a challenge, but stranger things have happened in regards to alex volkov. ❛ ❛ come carve them with me. ❜ ❜

" and so, the small prince said 'how may i escape the evil ogre?' " she likes doing the voices too, recalls their father doing so whenever he read to them, " then, he had an idea 'i shall disguise myself as a tree! that way the oger will not find me'. so the small prince took out a handful of magic dust out of his coats and --" a pause, " ... you seem bored. you really would rather just go play outside, wouldn't you?

But then Fury broke the eye contact and turned around, started to walk across the guests. Her power and presence suddenly faded away but that was intentional, so that he wouldn’t find her so easily  ---  let the game begin.

eaten dinner with her dad earlier, spending some hours at her childhood home earlier today. helping him hang up some decoration & some finishing touches before they went home. not time for gifts yet, but still, the pj's she bought a few days ago is now wrapped up neatly under one arm while carrying the tray of cookies over to the livingroom. mugs of hot cocoa on the table, marshmallow & sprinkles put out so they can refill without having to leave their spot : ready to just press play on the movie. and change into pj's. which, looking over at logan, there's a small grin forming while dumping down on the couch next to him after putting the tray down on the table.     ❝   here.   ❞      grin grows while handing the gift over to him, the very green grinch fuzy hoodie and matching pants inside.

knew he was at home right now, but that could change pretty fast. a surprise visit for the holidays. and for all she knew, he might be going home to his family tomorrow or even later tonight. okay, no, actually he might now : know their relationship are a little tense still. point being however, he could have other plans. plans he didn't want to change just because she showed up & the confidence in this entire plan is slowly dwindling out, the closer she comes to his apartment door. key tucked into her jacket pocket again as she pull suitcase down the hallway : heart skipping in her chest as there's a soft knock on the door.

" did you truly choose it, though ... or was it simply thrust upon you? " she glances up at the high fae, eyes leaving the rosebush she tends to, to focus entirely on him, " sometimes, the worst things that happen to us come because we looked for them. most of the time however, they just arrive because that is simply how our life must be, " her voice sounds rather defeated. if her sister nesta copes with the cauldron's trauma by lashing out, elain copes by simply letting the grief swallow her from time to time, " maybe you want to believe you chose it, because it's easier than admitting fate played a cruel joke on you, " you cannot be ambushed by a wolf if you hunt it down first, would say feyre, " then again, i know not of your past, lord rhysand. i apologize for assuming.
