Christmas Eve
Rose & Hugo
traditions, hyperactive, daring
The dynamic duo, their mother used to call them, while their father just grumbled about them being a pair of revolutionary, hyperactive kids. And they were both right. Rose and Hugo were not like other children. They wouldn't climb the tree, they would sit and make up stories about it. They wouldn't hide and watch for Santa to come for his cookie on Christmas Eve, they would sit right in the fireplace and wait for him. They wouldn't read books, they would write them and fill them with tales of their daring adventures, their defiance of social norms and traditions. They wouldn't just exist, they would live.
They took each day as it came and ran with it and they filled each moment with their hopes and dreams because they wouldn't be young forever. One day, the magic would fade and the dreams would die but not right now.
Right now, they were a couple of revolutionary kids, and they were untouchable.
