Christmas! Part Three

Marie woke up, and got her phone. Mittens is in Cali. Oh yeah, today's Christmas. She texted him back.

"Merry Christmas! :3"

She got out of bed, and ate some granola. She put on a Christmas Sweater, and sat down, watching Christmas Specials. Sometimes, she would glance at the presents, but she would always turn away. She finished her book, so there's really nothing left to do, but something else.

She decided to walk to the park. It's snowy in Minnesota, and everything is frozen. Marie put on her hat, scarf, gloves, and went out the door.

The pond was frozen, and there are no turtles to be seen. She walked over the bridge, and sat on the swing set on the kids' playground. She looked outside, as if Mitchell is there.

Mitchell woke up, and checked his phone. She responded.

"Merry Christmas to you too, babe. I love you, I'll be back ASAP,"

He responded, and it was time to get to the studio. They were doing the show live, but they need to rehearse. Of course he bought his fashionable pink apron, and he started to practise cooking the food. He couldn't help but think about Marie the whole time.

Marie was freezing, so she decided to go home. Mitchell would come on TV soon anyway. At least seeing him digitally would help. She got into her Pj's and cozied up in her blanket, sipping some tea. At last the show comes on TV, and Marie watches in awe. He looked so happy. He was doing what he loves. That's what she cares about.

It was time for bed, soon enough. Great- classes are tomorrow, along with reading. Don't get her wrong- she loves to read- but she gets in trouble when she already read the book and reads something else. She then gets an essay. And Mitchell will only be back on the 29th. Boo.
