Casey quietly peered down the stairs to the living room where Derek was sitting, eating the cookies that Marti had left out for Santa.
She watched as the glow from the candles she had left out caused shadows to flicker across his face.
Slowly she slid down to sit on one of the stairs and closed her eyes.
She imagained herself in front of a flickering fire, Derek holding her in his arms as they ate cookies, waiting for the clock to strike midnight and for it to be Christmas.
"Um, Case?"
Casey's eyes snapped open to see Derek standing in front of her.
Derek looked at her strangely but shook his head. "You should head to bed. It's after midnight." He said.
Then he walked past her, climbing the rest of the stairs. When she heard his bedroom door close, she let her head lean against the railing.
"Merry Christmas." She murmured.
