25 Days of Camie
Day 10 - Frost
Wednesday, December 10th
Jamie loved playing with the frost that accumulated on the windows. He'd use the eraser end of a pencil and trace goofy shapes or leave cute messages for Cathy.
"Jamie, please don't. That leaves a mark on the windows."
"You won't let me write on the mirror after a shower, so I have to let my creativity expand elsewhere." He added petals to the flower he was drawing. "Besides, it's not like I'm immature and draw dirty things."
"I know, but I don't want you ruining the glass. The lines stick and won't come off."
"My mum used to say the same thing when I was younger." He rolled his eyes. "They're my windows, I can do what I want."
"Can't I just buy you drawing paper or something? If you really want to, I can get that for you for Christmas."
"Cathy-"
"And get you some pencils, as well."
"Cathy, you don't-"
"And I also have to get something for the glass. Maybe there's something at the hardware store that will take the stains off-"
"Catherine."
She blew air out of her mouth, taking a seat beside him. "I just want our flat looking nice, is all."
"I know." He brushed hair from her forehead. "I won't draw on the windows anymore, alright? I'll find some paper to doodle on."
"Thank you, Jamie." She glanced at the frost. "That's a pretty flower, though."
"You think so?"
"Yes." She gently placed her fingers on the glass for a moment. "I like it."
"Consider it an early Christmas present, then."
"Thank you, Mr. Bradley." She giggled, kissing him.
