Obviously it’s more than six sentences because I have no self control. From Annie’s POV. Unedited! Enjoy!

After the tea finished boiling, I poured a cup and spread jam across my toast before taking a seat alone at the empty table. When my phone buzzed again, I could only assume at the hour that it was Dad texting, but was surprised to see it was a new snapchat notification from Finnick.
When I opened it, there was his ridiculously goofy face staring back at me with a santa filter, complete with beard and hat, over the top of it.
Ho, Ho, Ho the text beneath it read.
Yes, you are, I replied and immediately it notified me that he’d read it. Almost instantly, three bubbles appeared while he typed a reply.
Wow! On Christmas??
It’s not Christmas yet.
Uh, check your watch Anna Banana. It’s Christmas, and you called me a hoe.
I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from laughing, despite being alone.
Sorry.
I think that lands you on the naughty list.
Guess it does.
Does that mean I get naughty pics??
“In your dreams…” I muttered to myself with a roll of my eyes as I typed the next reply.
I think you drank too much eggnog, Odair.
Worth a shot. What are you doing up? You know Santa can’t come til you fall asleep.
Not sure Santa will find me this time around.
???
I lifted my camera up and snapped a quick photo of me sipping my tea. Behind me was a large window, showcasing the dark night woods around me.
At my family’s cabin.
What kind of psychopath sits with the blinds wide open at 1 am?
I’m watching the snow fall.
And the ax murderer is watching you.
Don’t creep me out, I’m alone, I replied, and despite myself shut the blinds. I finished my snack and set the empty glass in the sink for the morning before grabbing my duffle and heading up the stairs to bed.
Once I’d changed and brushed my teeth, I fell down onto the soft mattress and checked the new message waiting for me from Finnick.
Why are you alone?
I needed some space.
When he immediately started typing back, I was a little surprised to see that despite my short hiatus he was still awake.
I get that. Family can be a lot. I’m back at my parents house and my mom practically ironed my boxers.
I chuckled, staring back at the screen that illuminated the dark room. Of course he would find an excuse to discuss his boxers.
Holidays were more fun as a kid.
You are really bumming me out, Cresta.
Sorry. I think I’m just tired.
Is that my cue to let you go to bed??
Yeah, probably.
Alright. Well, Merry Christmas.
You too, Finnick.
