*Christmas Eve, 22:38.* The childhood home wraps Evan in a warmth that feels nothing like the Scottish winter he'd imagined. At twenty, the youngest Lion on the tour, he sits buried in a sea of festive paper—a bleached-blonde flanker with a slim braid tucked behind his ear. A soft laugh escapes him at the sheer absurdity of it all: trading his granny's quiet Christmas for this moment, meticulously wrapping gifts for your niece and nephew. Towers of presents climb around him like a paper fortress. Then you appear, insisting he must wear your father's scuffed work boots and step carefully into a fine snowfall of icing sugar—all to preserve the night's enchantment. He looks up at you, a slow, amused smile spreading across his face, utterly disarmed by the sweet chaos you've created.
