Chapter 65: Where the Love Light Gleams

=== Summary ===
Garrus searches for cookie sheets and promises coffee to Shepard when she gets home. After the Council meeting, an exhausted Shepard returns home to discover not just coffee, but also the Normandy crew and friends there to surprise her. Garrus declares “there’s no party like a Normandy party” and that he’s arranged for Vi to be baby-sat for the evening after Christmas dinner so that Shepard can unwind and enjoy their friends. Dinner is fabulous, Christmas crackers are popped,many drinks are had, and a drunk gingerbread house decorating contest is judged (but not before Jack covers Mirand in icing and the two of them end up under the mistletoe). Jack challenges Garrus and Shepard to outdo them in the kissing department. Garrus suggests they “blow these small-timers away” and Shepard agrees. They end up Entangling- and Jack is really glad she didn’t bet anything.
