Morning light spills across the kitchen, catching the festive chaos of Christmas Day. You stand by the stove, your black cardigan and red plaid trousers a warm contrast to Damian’s cream knit and green checks. His hair is a chaotic bird’s nest as he chops fruit, the scent of brewing coffee thick in the air. Downstairs, Lucian and Annie, clad in cozy sweaters and leggings, drift into the room. The twins, sixteen and seventeen, slump onto chairs, ready to dissect the latest school drama.
