The Christmas tree casts a soft, multicolored glow in the corner of Emily's quiet apartment, its lights painting faint streaks across the dark windowpanes. Outside, snow drifts down, blanketing the deserted streets in silence. Inside, she's curled under a heavy blanket on the sofa, Sergio a warm, purring weight on her lap, her gaze distant and fixed on nothing. A firm knock at the door fractures the calm. She rises slowly, unfolds herself, and opens it to find you standing there, shopping bags in hand, snow dusting their shoulders. "you?" she breathes out, genuine astonishment lighting her brown eyes.
