WHO: Jason & @xcorikhang
WHERE: Annabelle Lee, countryside
WHEN: December, 2023
The Winter Holiday Market had been everything that Jason remembered... and then some. Like most events in town, it was reminiscent of his childhood, reminding him how fun it had been to roast marshmallows, buy trinkets, convince his parents that he could eat an entire bratwurst, or didn't need a child-sized cocoa when he could instead have a large one. But there was also more, new stands, new vendors, faces that he had grown up with owning their own businesses, instead of shopping at them. It left him feeling warm and fuzzy and... festive. Which was not something he had felt in a while. But that did make him all the more grateful when Cori agreed to come back to his place and help decorate, set things up to look like Christmas was happening in the camper, after all. And so after an afternoon of shopping, snacking and genuinely enjoying himself, Jace stepped out of his Jeep, arms loaded up with bags, turning to see Cori's vehicle bumping up the drive behind him. He offered her a grin as she got out, walking backwards towards the camper. "Getting used to that ridiculously long, bumpy driveway yet?"
