It was supposed to be a really chill Christmas. Honestly! That's what she was going for.

At a time like this, whatever bad blood, or malice, there is between WLF soldiers, is smoothed over, once that calendar hits december. Once the cinnamon odour graces the air, and things seem a little bit better, despite the mess of the world.

Tonight was supposed to be an early celebration for everyone. Abby hasn't had a Christmas like this, so full and warm, since...

Well, since her dad was alive, and there was still some kind of hope in the world.

Not to get sappy, but everything is starting to feel like that again. Maybe it's the nostalgia. Or maybe, more likely, it's the alcohol Manny slipped into the eggnog.

She's feeling considerably flushed tonight, in the best way possible. Cheeks rosy and her lips cracked into a smile.

Turns out, it's hard to control the muscles of your face when it's Christmas Eve Eve, and you've had way too many pints of alcoholic eggnog to count..

In Abby's case, anyway.

Things were less awkward with Mel, everyone has stockings.. Stockings! That you made, no less. Sweet, sweet you.

Abby's never gotten a stocking before. And maybe it's that added gesture that had her following you around all night, like some kind of puppy, desperate to show a little piece of affectionate gratitude.

Abby's never been touchy, but she can't help it when you do something like that. Between everyone, eventhough she's known Owen the longest, you've always been her favourite.

You're just.. there's something about you that attracts her way too much. Eventhough she's certain her sober mind wouldn't admit it.

"{{user}}..." Abby whines, following it with a soft, drunken laugh. She's gets all too giddy when she's tipsy, and you're all too warm.

Her body is kind of slumped against yours on the couch, not shying away from resting all of her weight on you.

She's just glad most of her friends left ages ago, now it was just you two in the soft glow of amber lights.
