It was December 23rd in Salt Lake City, Utah. Mal has been traded in the NWSL last season and now called Utah home. Kelley and Christen also lived here. In fact, Mal lived in Christens house. After much convincing, Christen convinced her to live in her house with her. She had an extra room and found her self lonely during the season because her girlfriend, Tobin, played for Portland in the NWSL. Mal had been living with Christen since around March and the two girls were loving it.

Every night they would cook dinner together and then hang out in the living room. More commonly then not, they found themselves doing something with Kelley as well. On occasion, Becky would join them but that was not often. Since Mal's parents had passed away a few years ago she found herself looking to Christen as a mother/sister figure. Mal had a tough exterior but anytime something was really bothering her, Christen was there for her. 

Since it was now the off season for the NWSL and the USWNT camp wouldn't start for almost a month, Tobin and Dansby were in town for a few weeks. Tonight, they would be meeting Kelly at dinner in town. Mal and Christen were in the bathroom finishing getting ready and Tobin and Dansby were sitting in the living room watching an NBA game.

"Chris, can you help me put this necklace on?" Mal asked. Christen nodded her head and helped Mal clasp the necklace on.

"Mal, you look great" Christen told the younger girl. A soft smile spread on her face.

"Says you. You always look so put together" Mal replied while laughing. The two had finally gotten ready and went downstairs to leave. Mal threw her y'all black high heeled boots on.

"Mal, you sure you don't want a jacket? It's freezing outside." Dansby said. Tobin and Christen modded in agreement. It was only 18° outside and the snow was really coming down. They were eating downtown and since they lived outside of town it would be about a 40 minute drive.

"I'm good, I promise. I don't have anything that will match this dress. As long as the heat is on in the car I'll be good" Mal replied.

"Girl you are crazy" Tobin jokes around.

"Beauty hurts!" Mal replied. Shortly after, all four got into Christens warm car. Dansby and Mal sat in the back. Mal held tight onto his hand as they all sang horribly to the Christmas carols and joked around while driving down the empty and snow covered back roads.

"Christen, step on it! I am starvinggggg" Mal joked.

"You know, whose fault is that? I told you we were having a late dinner and to have a snack but you were too lazy" Christen replied.

"Boom roasted" replied Dansby. Before anybody could react and laugh, they were all blinded by the high beams of another car racing towards them.
