Prompt: stockings
pairing: dominiquelysander
extra prompts: taking chances
As she takes in her trimmed tree with wrapped presents under it, the twinkling lights, and the stocking that hangs down from the fireplace, she doesn't regret leaving. Sure, it's Christmas, and sure they were in love, but things change.
Two weeks ago, she woke up and realized she didn't love him anymore. So she toke a chance and she left. And she's happy now; finally happy, instead of that artificial happy she used to try so hard to pretend to be.
And she knows he'll be okay, too. He never loved her – not the way he loved her sister. Maybe he'll finally make his move. Maybe he'll take a chance and tell her how much he's in love with her.
Even if he doesn't, Dominique still feels euphoric.
No, she feels free.
