Summary: A Christmas party on board Enterprise.
Comments: This is my Christmas gift to all whose stories I've been enjoying, especially Carmen's drabbles. Feedback welcome--this is my first fic ever. (Originally posted to EntSTSlash Dec 24, 2002)

Sparkling lights, a makeshift tree, champagne bubbles tickle as they go down, too quickly maybe, before I lose my nerve
I hear laughter, effervescent as the wine, swirling around the man who holds my heart but hasn't seen that in my eyes.
Exchange of gifts--thank-you hugs, casual kisses. One last present offered shyly. No wrapping, no ribbons. It holds only my hope.
Gathering my courage and the man, I kiss him gently. Green eyes meet storm-gray, exchanging silent promises. Later.
In quiet darkness, two at last alone together.
All distance breached. Hearts given and accepted.
"Merry Christmas, Jon."
