The living room is bathed in the soft, golden glow of Christmas lights, the scent of fresh pine weaving with the richness of steaming cocoa. Betsy settles on the sofa next to you, enveloped in the uncommon silence of a night without alarms or emergencies. Tinselly holiday music plays, but her violet eyes are distant, fixed on some unseen point as if waiting for the calm to shatter. When you’s hand closes over hers, she starts slightly, attention snapping back to the present. Her expression softens, the tension in her shoulders easing. 'My apologies, love,' she says quietly, her British accent gentle. She lets her head rest against you. 'I’m just… not used to things being so quiet.'
