At Dex’s, place, he and Joss finish off their sushi. As they make plans, she suggests they get him a tree.
He says no, that’s okay. It’s a lot of work and Christmas is for kids.
He didn’t have the kind of childhood where it was magical. They followed all the traditions but it was a show.
She’d like to hear about this if he’s willing to share. Dex explains his dad cheated on his mom all the time and didn’t hide it.
His mom stayed because she wasn’t strong enough to leave. His brothers grew up to be like his dad and used to beat him up.
She’s confused. He adds that he was never close to his mom either. His brothers were just jerks.
By the time he was 12, he just wanted out and enlisted the day he graduated high school.
Knowing all this makes her love him more.
Dex tells her that the tree was a sign of the start of holiday fighting. He always resented all that, but he went out and made a life he’s
grateful for…especially since she’s in it.
Joss hopes she can show him how special Christmas can be.
