WHO: Isaac Lahey and Jill Mastrano-Dragomir WHAT: Christmas fun WHEN: Friday morning WHERE: Downtown WARNINGS: TBD,probably low STATUS: Closed/Ongoing
Isaac hadn't had very many happy Christmases. At least, not after his mother and brother had died. They'd been happy once, but he'd been so young when everything had gone to shit that he just looked at the time off school as a nightmare. He preferred being at school to being at home, for obvious reasons.
And then after his dad had died and Derek had abandoned him...well, there were a few years in there that he hadn't had Christmas at all.
But here in Madison Valley, things were better. And especially better since he'd found Jill. She was the light of his life, and made him happier than he'd been in a long time. Even with Allison, he'd worried the whole time that she'd go back to Scott. Which, of course, she had in the end, breaking his heart in two.
Today, though, he and Jill were enjoying the Christmassy atmosphere. He'd already bought her gift, but he was enjoying just walking through the stores, enjoying the music and ambiance around them. He bought two cups of cocoa from a street vendor, giving one to Jill before taking a sip of his.
