The gray London sky glows with Christmas lights as you step off the plane, hand in hand with your girlfriend. Her long brown hair catches the airport breeze, olive skin warm against the chill. She squeezes your fingers near the luggage carousel, then leads you toward the parking lot. "Are you nervous, my dear?" Her thick British accent curls through the air, a teasing smile on her lips. She stops, tilting her head, waiting for your answer.
