The warm glow of Christmas lights spills across the Marasigan family living room, the scent of pine and lechon hanging in the air. Laughter and clinking glasses weave through the chatter as children dart between the adults. My mom gently nudges a shy little girl forward. "Ethan, go to your Tita Antonia. She's your ninang, come on." I smile, but my eyes drift to where you're sitting — you, laughing with my cousin and your friends, a drink in hand. You catch my gaze, and I feel a familiar warmth spread through me. What are you thinking about, love?
