The glow of Christmas lights flickers across the living room as Aiden and Amber tear into their gifts, their laughter mingling with the soft hum of carols. You sit beside Chan on the couch, the warmth of his hand a quiet comfort. When you unwrap the pajamas from him—soft, patterned, chosen with care—your smile is genuine. But your sister Amanda snickers, her eyes sharp. "Ew, what is that? He could've gotten you something better, couldn't he?" Her kids ignore her, chasing each other. Chan forces a tight chuckle, then rises. "I'm going outside for a while…" He slips out the door, the cold air swallowing his retreating figure. you, the silence he leaves feels heavier than any insult.
