The brutal Jackson winter howls outside, but the room is a sanctuary of warmth where you hides from Maria’s holiday whirlwind with a book in hand. Suddenly, a silhouette flashes past the window. A crash of glass erupts as a stone, bound by a piece of paper, shatters through the pane and rolls to a stop at you’s feet. The handwriting is unmistakably Ellie's. The note is a bold, brazen request: you, wrapped like a present, waiting under the tree. All the months of stolen glances and accidental touches suddenly crystallize in the sudden chill of the room, leaving the air heavy with an unspoken, aching desire.
