Christmas Eve dawned clear and frosty. Connor wanted to show Remy how to snowboard and urged Ashley to come and watch his ‘skills’, as he called them. Ricky and Blake drove down to the nearest gym, wanting to get a workout in before the indulgence of the Christmas feast.

It left Doe and Thea on their own in the cabin. Thea hadn’t told Doe about what had happened between her and Blake. Every time she decided that she should, her courage failed her.

Besides, Blake could be Doe’s soulmate. That made Thea feel like an even worse friend.

“Do you want to make gingerbread?” Thea asked brightly. If they both had something to occupy themselves, perhaps they wouldn’t need to have a heart-to-heart. “Ashley said there was baking stuff in one of the cupboards.”

“Yeah, that sounds like a great idea!” Doe nodded happily. She went about getting the different bowls and trays, leaving it to Thea to gather the ingredients. Thea couldn’t help but glance over at Doe every so often. She looked... really happy. There was a smile on her lips. While Doe was usually a pretty happy person, this seemed an unusual level of happiness even for her.

As bad as she felt, Thea still wanted to share in the highs of Doe’s life. That was what best friends did , as well as comfort each other through the lows. It would’ve felt wrong if she hadn’t talked to Doe at all.

“So, how does this rate in your list of best Christmases?” Thea asked, only slightly teasingly. “It’s a proper white Christmas, and there are amazing decorations, so I’m guessing pretty high?”

Doe laughed at that, giving Thea a grin over her shoulder as she set down a mixing bowl. She then glanced through the window to where a snowman someone had made the day before still stood.

“I love it,” Doe finally answered. “It’s so... Christmassy .” Which of course it was, but Thea got what Doe meant. Snow and Christmas tree and decorations were all things that made the place feel like Christmas. “And,” Doe added after a pause, glancing away so that Thea could see the blush creeping up the back of her neck, “the company’s pretty nice.”

Thea felt her stomach give a sick sort of twist. It wasn’t right to keep Doe in the dark like this. On the other hand, could Thea really tell her now ? It would ruin Christmas. What if Doe felt she had to leave? It wasn’t as if she could get back to Madison before tomorrow.

Taking the mixing bowl, Thea added the first of the ingredients. Mixing them together with the spoon made her feel a little less awful. “It is nice,” Thea said, with forced good cheer. “Even Ricky seems a lot less… intense up here.”

At least that earned her another laugh. Thea much preferred to hear Doe laugh than... whatever she thought the reaction might be if she told Doe the truth.

“Ricky’s sweet,” Doe commented. “I also really like Ashley. At first, she seemed.
