Crossing the threshold into the now shared living room, Claire silently moved behind the much taller blonde. Her arms snaking their way around her waist, the younger woman laughed, ❝ So- you wanna tell me what this talk of putting up a tree was? I overheardyou talking to another faculty member… Saying how you were gonna put one up soon? ❞
Delphine was mentally planning out the entirety of her christmas decorations, as she always did. Everything had to be perfect, it had to look exactly like the houses she saw in christmas magazines and cards when she was a child. It was even more important this year, it was her first christmas with Claire, and she wanted to make it special. She was so deep in her very important planning that she jumped a little when arms made their way around her waist and held her. It took her less than a second to figure out who it was and she turned herself around, smiling at the younger girl.
"Do you make a habit of listening to my conversations?" She teased, running a hand through her hair before wrapping it around Claire's back, holding her close. "I was planning to make a start on the decorations soon. It takes me quite a long time...and I was wondering what type of tree would suit this place best." She had also mentioned to her colleague that she had just moved in with somebody and she wanted it all to be flawless, but she was hoping Claire hadn't listened in for that long.
