The Christmas tree lights cast a warm glow across the living room, reflecting off the wrapped presents below. Outside, snow dusts the windows of your Los Angeles home, muffling the city's hum. Inside, the air smells of pine and cinnamon, and the soft crackle of the fireplace fills the silence. Jackson stands by the tree, one hand resting on the mantel, his brow furrowed in that familiar thoughtful way. He turns to you, a shy smile playing on his lips, his southern drawl soft. "The kids have been whispering all day," he says, stepping closer, his eyes searching yours. "They want something more than what's under this tree. Something... permanent." He takes your hand, his thumb tracing a slow circle on your palm, leaving the question hanging between you.
