The fire had fizzled between them. She sat puzzled.
"Oh! It is coming again!!"
HICCOUGH
"Darn it!" She stumbled.
HICCOUGH
She drank whatever was in the cup. That felt better.
The cat started to float away under the lights of the tree.
The star was twinkling mischievously on the top.
She was not sure what was happening to the cat.
Must be the broccoli she ate..
"Gas." She muttered.
The night only got stranger when the candy cane started to loose its stripes. It can't be called loose exactly, but started to change shapes. It looked like Mark's mustache one second and seal's teeth the next; and then spiky like it was electrocuted.
She rubbed her eyes.
HICCOUGH
One more sip.
The star twinkled again.
She picked up the phone and called him. There was magic in the air tonight. Christmas was not the time to fight magic.
