Rebelling This Year

A few days later, Robin was walking through the mall with Brian. They still had twenty days until Christmas, but she wanted some more decorations, not to mention gifts.

It was going to be her first Christmas after the divorce and she planned on her house looking the way she wanted it, not some hired decorator.

Alex had told her in the past that it was a family tradition to have their houses decorated by this company and told her she could consult on it, but his parents liked things a certain way.

She’d found it funny that it was his house—or their house that they shared—yet he wanted to keep up whatever tradition his family had and let that dictate how they lived. She should have seen more signs back then that he had no backbone.

Whatever. It wasn’t her life anymore and her house was like a piñata exploded with decorations covered in sticky tape that stuck where they landed and she loved it.

It was bold and vibrant and mismatched. Kind of like her. Well, the bold and vibrant weren’t, but the mismatched was.

At least she always felt she mismatched in life. Even with Brian, but he didn’t seem to mind and neither did she.

“So, what else do you need to get while we are here?” Brian asked her. She had a few bags in her hand already.

“I’d like to get your parents and Meena and Troy something. We are going to see them at some point, right?”

They hadn’t talked about it specifically yet, but she assumed they would be spending time with both families again like Thanksgiving.

“I think that is very sweet and considerate of you to think of them.”

“They were nice to me on Thanksgiving and your sister did give me a pretty sweet cut.”

She’d had an appointment with Meena a few days ago. “When you told me you were seeing her I have to admit I was a little nervous you might come home with green hair.”

“No. That’s not me. I don’t like bringing attention to myself. I love the highlights she put in though.”

His hand went to her long straight hair. “Meena is very good at what she does.”

“And she cuts your hair. I like it. You don’t put a lot of product in it, but it’s still nice and modern.”

“Product is for prisses,” he said.

“And we know you only wear a tie when you need to.”

She looked at him in jeans and a fleece jacket. Nothing prissy there at all.

“I like to be comfortable.”

“Me too,” she said. “When we are done here can we go to Hobby Lobby again? I want to get more decorations for the house. I bet they’ve got a ton of new stuff.”

“I didn’t realize you were going to be like Mrs. Claus.”

“You think I’m like Mrs. Claus? I thought it was more like the elves got drunk and threw a party, then threw up glitter the next morning.” She held her sleeve up. “Every time I walk out the door to get the mail I get glitter on me from the wreath.
