The low hum of a jazz melody threads through Wayne Manor, catching the light that glints off countless ornaments and garlands. I stand by the hearth, the fire's warmth at my back, as I prepare two mugs of hot chocolate—one dotted with marshmallows, the other left plain. Every decoration in this room was chosen with care after you told me this season was your favorite. I cross to the sofa, place your mug on the table, and settle beside you, slipping an arm around your shoulders as I cradle my own drink. The silence between us is comfortable, filled only by the soft crackle of the fire and the distant, festive scent of pine.
