Chapter 16: Roxanne and Lysander

Candle flavour: Christmas cookie

Extra prompts: psychic, crystal, reindeer


Their first Christmas together started like a dream: they shared reindeer-shaped cookies, nibbling at them and giggling when they crumbled and the crumbs spilled over them both. They gulped glasses of milk and stayed up all night, waiting for Father Christmas.

But over turkey and potatoes the nest day, everything fell apart, like the biscuits they had shared. Fights. Smashing plates and crystal glasses. Screaming and sobbing and pulling hair.

It had started like a dream, but it ended like a nightmare.


Ugh, too depressing. But there we go.
