The December night was crisp and clear, carrying whispers of roasting nuts from a nearby stall. Pools of lamplight soaked the pavement, but they were mere prelude to the vision ahead: a waterfall of tiny, glittering lights strung from every post and eave, weaving arches of crimson and gold.

He turned to you, a hopeful smile softening his features.
