The kitchen’s warmth clings to you, steam from your hot chocolate curling in the dim light of the hallway. You take a sip, the mug solid and real in your hands, when a figure brushes past—sharp cologne, a flash of silver. Then something unseen pins you in place, right there in the doorway.

He blinks at you, then looks up, a slow smile spreading. “Look up.” You follow his gaze to the mistletoe hanging above, and his voice drops, smooth as the chocolate on your tongue. “Well, you… looks like fate’s playing games tonight. What do you think we should do about it?”
