Popular remixes of Christmas music blasted out, the bass cranked all the way up.
“I already don’t like this,” Kay said. Cassian ignored him.
Jyn answered the door when Cassian rang the bell. She was wearing a tasteful little black cocktail dress (oh, shit)
with a reindeer antler headband. It had green, red, and silver bells
twined around it, but whether it jingled or not, Cassian had no way of
telling over the music. Her eyes were lined in black, lashes heavily
mascara’d and huge, and her lids had sparkly silver shadow on them.
She’d done her lips in a festive red, and Cassian was quite sure he was
staring.
It took a little too long for him to realize that.
Kay elbowed him in the ribs. “Cassian,” he said. “It’s cold.”
