A/N: I enjoy toying with the Grimes' marriage way too much. I don't actually like Shane/Lori, but I don't accept Lori's reasoning for getting with Shane. Widows usually go through a mourning period, don't they? And seeing as Rick didn't starve to death, it wasn't that long for her.

It was supposed to be something simple. It was a silly tradition and they were long-time friends. He and Rick were life-long friends. Lori didn't think she would have to worry when she and Shane ended up under the mistletoe at Mary Winchester's Christmas party. It was supposed to be a simple kiss between friends.
But then his lips were on hers and her hands were in his hair and his tongue… she was lost. She didn't know if it lasted a second or an hour, but when it was done, Mary was looking at her as if she had grown a second head and Shane just coughed and wished her a merry Christmas as he walked away as if nothing had happened.
She was glad that Rick had been running late that day; she didn't know if she could explain what had just happened.
