Puck could feel her heart racing as the end credits began to roll. It was Love Actually, a tradition she and B had recently started. B stared intently at the screen and Puck stared intently at her. But not for the usual reason. Her face felt hot as she swallowed hard and gripped her blanket tightly. She could see in her head Mark's card as he smiled awkwardly for Keira Knightley's character. At Christmas you tell the truth. The words bled through her mind until the feeling of need overwhelmed her. At Christmas you tell the truth.
Puck turned toward Bree, sucking in a deep breath. At Christmas you tell the truth. At Christmas you tell the truth. She could hear her heartbeat in her ears, but there was an obligation for the truth. You're a Jew. You don't even celebrate Christmas. At Christmas you tell the truth. Puck sighed and looked at Bree. Everything was about to change. Maybe. Probably.
"B," she started, "I have to tell you something."
