Scorpius was a patient man, but this was getting ridiculous. For three years he'd failed to catch Rose under the mistletoe. He'd convinced himself that she would never consider a romantic relationship unless he could surprise her with a holiday kiss. However, each Christmas she avoided the mistletoe. This year he had been determined that things would be different, yet somehow she'd thwarted him again.

"Sod it," he murmured, pulling Rose into his arms and kissing her deeply despite being a dozen meters away from the plant.

"Scorpius?"

"Merry Christmas, Rose," he smiled; delighted his patience had finally worn thin.
