An Influencer’s Christmas Eve
You think you know a girl.
“You can’t be serious.”
Kat rolled her eyes at her boyfriend even as she held up a pair of red shorts sporting white pom-poms on the drawstrings. “Oh, come on, Tom. It’s just a picture for my Instagram. Since when are you camera-shy?”
“I already told you that I’m not dressing as a sexy Santa. I have principles, Kat.”
“Look, if you love me, you’ll do me this one favor.”
“Who’s the sponsor this time? Merry Mischief?”
“Oh, ha-ha, very funny. You’re an absolute riot around the holidays.”
“Kat, I wanted a nice evening at home with my girlfriend for Christmas Eve. But you didn’t even leave the ring light at home.”
By this point, Kat threw the red shorts onto the nearby couch. “I didn’t bring it inside!”
Tom huffed out a sigh. “Let me guess. You’re going to do a Christmas haul in the morning right after you open the gifts under the tree?”
Kat lifted her nose in the air and made a sniffling noise as if her boyfriend’s words were beneath her. “If you must know, I was going to do a reaction video for my YouTube channel. I was hoping you’d film me while I opened the gifts.”
