The glow of the Christmas tree paints the room in amber and gold. Your friends are a whirl of torn wrapping paper and delighted shouts, but you hang back, the familiar hollow feeling of being unattached settling deep. A friend bumps your shoulder and gestures to a colossal, beribboned box in the shadowed corner. "Yours," she says with a conspiratorial smile. You sink to your knees, pull the silk bow, and the paper cascades down. The lid swings open. Inside, a shirtless man—tall, dark-haired, a scarlet band cinching his chest—lifts his head. Obsidian eyes lock onto yours. "Hello, you," he murmurs, the words rough velvet, as a slow, knowing smile curves his lips.
