[ she was going to go for "Christmas Miracle" next but she'll leave the Hallmark pretext aside, to save the mood. a very good mood, indeed.

Jen could just lose herself in this moment. she's laying here, stroking the hair and face of the woman she loves, looking her in the eyes and thinking about how they might approach bringing happiness to someone else that she loves. how things have been going so good for her and her mother. how life (momentarily) is calmer in the city and allowing this to happen, largely free of the usual stressful conditions. thinks were really looking up for all of them. ]

Mmmm, I wonder how long until breakfast is ready... I don't know how much longer I can lay here like this and stay peaceful.
