And as I look around...
WHO: Raven Roth and Arnold Rimmer
WHERE: The house at Lake Placid
WHEN: The night of Christmas Eve, carrying over into Christmas morning
WARNINGS: None.
SUMMARY: Crazy fruitcakes, holiday parties, a team of teenagers, and full work schedules don't leave much time to breathe, but that's what alone time and exchanging holiday gifts is for.
FORMAT: Para
It really had been quite a chaotic and crazy week, even by Raven's personal standards. Working full days, spending all day today visiting with children at the hospital, a dinner with the titans to exchange gifts, Edgeworth's party--- it had all just rushed into one another. Usually she found herself coming home and taking just enough time to unwind before crashing into the bed.
But tonight she resisted the urge to crash - funny what a cup of coffee could do for that, right? She was still dressed in that form-fitting red velvet dress with the white fluffy trim - the one she had worn to the hospital to brighten a few faces. It had been a hit with both the kids and staff alike, so she no longer felt self-conscious in it.
... but she was glad to be home. And as promised, she had cleared her schedule of anything and everything, to spend Christmas day itself with the man she was staring at now, as she finished the rest of that coffee.
