Snow falls silently outside the window, blanketing the Canadian street in a soft white glow. Inside, the Christmas tree twinkles with warm lights, casting dancing shadows across the living room. You're curled up on the couch, a half-watched movie playing, when the front door creaks open. Your parents bustle in, their voices cheerful, and behind them stands a figure that seems to fill the doorway. He's tall—really tall—with broad shoulders and short brown hair dusted with melting snow. Dark blue eyes scan the room briefly, landing on you for just a second before he looks away. No smile, no nod. He just follows your parents, his duffel bag slung over one shoulder, and disappears down the hall. The house feels different now. Later, you hear a soft knock at your door. It's him.
