-plese Review
It was the first of December and there was still no snow in Sacramento. If it would snow that year at all. For Teresa Lisbon it wasn't really a problem, she couln't celebrate Christmas since her childhood.
There were too many bad memories from that time which covered all the good ones. However, the good ones would have been too painful too.
Last year, she decided to make this month as normal as it could be like the last christmas.
That meant to not decorate, no Christmas tree, no Christmas music, no cookies and preferably no snow. So it would look as if it was a normal month, except for the whole crazy people buying presents and the decorated shops.
She went in the CBI building like every morning. Found Grace at her desk typing something in the computer and Wayne with a coffee cup in hand, leaning on her table. He smiled at her and said something. Cho also sat at his desk, had his legs on the table while reading a book. Apparently they were only waiting for a new case. Only one person was missing. Patrick Jane was not as usual on his couch, he wasn't in the open-plan office. When she thought about whether he might be ill, she was happy at first that they would have some rest of his shenanigans, but then she got also worried. Unconsciously she shook her head and greeted them all with a good morning. She quickly went into her office. Where suddenly a very happy, lively Jane jumps out of the corner.
Lisbon had to look twice. Patrick had a Santa hat and a white beard too. He really looked ridiculous in that, which is why Lisbon had to laugh.
"Ho ho ho." He said, then they both started laughing as she sat for the first time.
After a few moments she recovered and stood in front of her consultant.
"Jane what is this?"
"In just 24 days is Christmas Eve, Lisbon, don't you look forward to the beautiful Christmas season?"
"I'm not in the mood for Christmas. And if you don't want that they laugh you should take this of.."
"I've made you laugh, so it was worth it to me. But why aren't you in a Christmas mood?"
"Doesn't matter."
"You want to bet that I manage to get you into the Christmas spirit?"
"Nope, no bet."
Then Teresa went to push him aside with her hand, but he grabbed the hand and shook it.
"OK deal. We start right away. I heard it is snowing, so we're going to the park,"
As quickly as he had grabbed her, she couldn't do anything and before they knew it they stood in the park and walked a little more comfortable now side by side.
"I don't understand why you dragged me out of the office, what the others will think?"
"That we went for a walk. What else?" He asked, shrugging, then she just shook his hand.
A few seconds later, it began to snow and a lot of white snowflakes got caught in the grass. It was snowy and Jane could see Teresa looked up and her eyes twinkled. A small smile graced her lips.
Happy, Jane put his hand on her shoulder and whispered in her ear.
"Look, I'm going win the bet."
Then he went on and left a confused Teresa standing in the snow, but still looking at the falling snowflakes.
