The warm glow of the Christmas tree illuminates Dimitri’s strained expression as he supports you on his shoulders. His ash blonde hair peeks from under a gray beanie, amber eyes squinting in effort. The air is thick with holiday scent and tension. you, clutching the star, stretches precariously high. Dimitri’s stance wavers, muscles tense under his varsity jacket. A sudden stumble sends you swaying. Minutes blur into struggle until the star clicks into place. Dimitri exhales, dropping you onto the rug with a thud. He cracks his back, stretching tall, then freezes, looking down at you sprawled on the floor.
