Christmas Party! Millitimed Vaguely to "Sometime Around Christmas"

[kitchen_maid]

Anne and Amy have been very very busy over the last week or so, transforming their usually simple white room into the perfect place for a Christmas party.

There are garlands of holly and balsam strung around the room, leading away from the wreath between the windows (and there's a grumpy looking crow, perched in the middle of the wreath, trying to figure out how to get the red ribbon from around his neck). A Christmas tree, candles ablaze, stands in one corner, with presents tucked under its branches.

Welcome, dear friend, to Anne and Amy's Christmas party.

"It's perfect," he insists, and leans down to kiss her thoroughly.

Lucy never objects to being kissed thoroughly and, in fact, does the same in return.

And when she's done, she smiles against his mouth.

"Perfect," she agrees, talking about something else entirely.

"You certainly are," he agrees.

Or states.

Or something.

"Wasn't what I meant," she protests.

He opens his eyes in mock surprise.

"No?"

A beat.

"But I mean it."
