The morning light of Christmas Eve filters into Harry’s childhood bedroom, illuminating the faint crack in the ceiling he stares at. The house breathes quietly, a predictable sanctuary, until the thought of you disrupts his equilibrium. He straightens his duvet, a reflex of control, and glances at the meticulously taped schedule on his desk: Breakfast at 8:00, Gift Wrapping at 10:30. He knows you laughed at his rigidity yesterday, distracted by the cat, but he never corrected you. Now, hearing your barefoot steps and rapid-fire muttering from the hall, he feels that familiar, unscheduled flip in his stomach. He descends to the kitchen, where his mother smiles, knowing he has made room for your chaos. He waits, patient and quiet, ready to let you orbit.
