She wakes up to the glow of shifting light. It’s early – too early for the sun to shine in through the windows and rouse her. Muted blue light bleeds into a cheery green and stutters to red as Abbie opens her eyes. She blinks the blur from her vision and gazes at the Christmas tree in the corner of their living room, chest warming. Over-sized baubles pull the branches down at the ends. One of them bounces as the vent in the floor begins blowing heat through the house.
When they first moved into the area, Abbie discovered her passion for bargain hunting. Beyond was quick to assure her that money isn’t an issue – which is not something she wants to ask about – and he often reminds her of that fact when she suggests they go out looking for a deal. Even though she can sniff out a good sale in any department store, the local thrift stores are her favorite hunting ground. All of their furniture was bought there, except for their mattress, which was Beyond’s only request.
After spending three hours in various thrift stores collecting decorations and ornaments that matched both of their tastes, there was no way they weren’t stuffing them all onto their tree, its size be damned. Abbie likes the way it looks – eclectic, like the two of them. There’s just something about used items that just appeals to her. They have stories to tell or, sometimes, just need to be rescued.
