He has a nice laugh, Chrissy thinks. It feels like it's been ages since she was able to laugh like that, and she can't help feeling a little jealous now. How long has it been since that day in the clearing? Chrissy has no idea, and Steve probably wouldn't be able to tell her, anyway, if he's been here for a month now.
"On second thought, you might be right." It's probably too cutesy for him, anyway.
"That's usually how these things work, right? Holiday parties and everything?" It's probably a little ridiculous to assume Steve would have any more of an idea of how these things are supposed to go than she does, but he did say he's been here for a while.
Maybe that was something they'd explained at some point. "A party could be fun." If nothing else, it might be a decent distraction. Chrissy catches that slight hesitation and decides to just let it go. There are more important things to think about.
Eventually, he does find another shirt, and Chrissy can't help but grin when he holds it up so she can see. "That one is definitely you, Steve." It's not as bright as the other one, but she still can't quite picture him wearing it.
