“What are you doing?” Royce asked, grinning at me from the other side of the room. It was Christmas day, and we knew how much I liked to keep the angel off the tree until Christmas day. My reasoning was that if the angel was up too early, that demons might steal her. So I waited until Christmas morning to put her up and took her down that night.

“I’m putting the angel up.”

Royce was shirtless with gray sweats fastened around his lean waist, a bowl of granola in one hand and his other gripping a spoon, a smirk on his face. “I’ll help.” He put the bowl down on the coffee table and came closer to me. Since hitting my teen years, it was as though my body’s reactions became heightened anytime he was near me.

I felt his skin up against my back as he reached from behind me, his long fingers wrapping around mine to take the angel. My heart short-circuited. “Let me do it.” His mouth was close to the back of my head and my eyes closed. I was either being ridiculous or I’m being sensitive. I wasn’t ready to explore other reasons as to why I was reacting to Royce.

I pull myself out of my memory. That was the last Christmas that Royce was with us, after that, we stopped celebrating while Mom mourned the ‘death’ of her only son.

I finish up my makeup with a loud exhale and pack everything away, shoving my phone into my back pocket and finally heading out of the bathroom.
