Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas (Closed RP)
It really was a shitty Christmas.
Normally, Lexi didn't mind being alone. She'd pour herself a glass of eggnog (heavy on the bourbon), put on It's a Wonderful Life, and curl up on the couch. It was a great day to relax, to close up the shop or take off work and just be by herself. Some years she'd had someone to spend it with, some years more than one, but it was sort of a tradition that she spend Christmas evening solo.
This year, though, something was different. A lot of things were different. And where once Lexi had been content in her own skin, she now could hardly stand to spend an hour in silence. Every word Arthur had said echoed in her brain over and over, all of the useless, hopeless possibilities that never would be. Sagramore's disdain, the desperate need that'd driven them together and yet hadn't been soothed at all, all of that haunted her every waking moment, chased her into her dreams.
So where once she'd have a drink or two and be heartwarmed by George Bailey's antics, Lexi was half a bottle of wine in and utterly miserable. Which was probably why she wound up at Keiran's door, pounding loudly.
The bastard better be home.
