doesn't stop me from feeling the loss

Aidan thought that Sookie was being a bit serious about the whole thing, but he knew that she'd gone through a lot of stuff lately so maybe humor wasn't the best thing to try right now.

"Well, since you're stuck here for the moment would you like something to drink?" he asked.


"I'm fine," Sookie replied in turn, shaking her head slightly and raising her chin in an airy motion, one which tried to emphasize just how perfect things were, bar none. (It was a lie, of course, but one made to herself, and perhaps more forgivable in that sense. If Sookie wasn't feeling fine, she was having trouble recognizing it that night, convinced as she was that everything was better than it'd been in weeks. No need for emotional turmoil.) "I don't want to start downing beer again, at any rate, because we definitely do not need a repeat of that other night."

Resting her chin in her hand, she shrugged. "So, tell me what you've been up to! Your plans for the holidays."

"Nothing, really," Aidan said with a shrug. He and had some presents to deliver and people to see, but that was it, really. Nothing terribly festive of exciting. Aidan thought it was a good way to ease into the holiday.

"Josh and I will probably exchange gifts Christmas morning and Martha and I will that evening. I have some people to hunt down and deliver gifts to, but that's about it. What about you?"
