Sighing softly, Izzy wiped down the bar counter. She was working Christmas eve and she was thankful it was slow/quiet. Part of it due to everyone being with family, friends and/or loved ones for the night. Another part was due to that it was now snowing outside. Propping her arm on the counter after she was finished, Izzy allowed her mind to wander. Originally, the plan was for her to stay at Jethro's. However, work had called him away the week before at the last minute, neither knowing when he'd return.
Getting back to work, she started to quietly move around the bar, gathering empty beer bottles and cups left by earlier's crowd. Hearing the radio start another song, she began to softly sing along as the door opened. She didn't pay any mind as she'd assumed it was a regular.
Don't want a lot for Christmas There's just one thing I need Don't care about those presents Underneath the Christmas tree I just want you for my own More than you could ever know Make my wish come true You know that all I want for Christmas Is you...
It was the Michael Buble version of 'All I want for Christmas'. It was her preferred version, actually. Hearing a throat clear behind her, she sighed softly. "I'll be with you in a sec..." she'd turned around while speaking, only to stop mid sentence. In front of her was the very person she'd been thinking about.
