Prompt: Writer's choice - Mistletoe
Dec. 25th, 2012 10:04 amIranda studied the small plant that was sitting in the box of decorations her mother was unpacking. "What's that?" she asked, her brown eyes studying it intently.
Her mother turned and smiled at her daughter before carefully picking up the aged plant. "Oh, just something your father gave me years ago," she said, tucking a lock of silver behind her ear. She moved to the door and carefully hung it in the center of the frame. "There," she said, smiling to herself.
Iranda shrugged, clearly not caring before she noticed her father stopping and kissing her mother. She arched a brow, clearly confused by her father's random act of emotion - he rarely was that affectionate [at least that she knew of].
He glanced up and chuckled. "Ah, mistletoe," he said.
"Must have been the mistletoe," she responded, curling into his arms.
Z'neth kissed Ilona again, dipping her slightly. "Merry Christmas."
