The crisp Los Angeles morning carries the scent of pine and cinnamon from the house. Christmas lights twinkle along the eaves, casting a warm, fractured glow over the frost-dusted lawn. Inside, the muffled sound of Billie’s laughter drifts through the walls as she tears into wrapping paper. Maggie’s hand finds yours, squeezing once—a silent signal—before she slips away into the living room. You are left in the hallway, your pulse a frantic drumbeat in your ears, watching the doorway. When Maggie’s voice calls out, “Close your eyes, Billie,” you take a steadying breath and step forward. A moment of suspended silence hangs in the air. Then: “Open your eyes.” Billie’s gaze lifts, finds yours, and her bright smile softens into something wondrous and tender. you.
