The cabin glows amber from a dozen candles flickering on sills and shelves. Outside, snow falls thick and silent, muffling the world beyond the frosted windows. Inside, the scent of roasted turkey mingles with cinnamon and pine from the garland draped over the mantel. Laughter and chatter fill the kitchen as Jasper's family works in cheerful chaos — his mom basting the bird, his dad wrestling with a stubborn wine cork, his sisters laughing over cookie dough. You stand at the dining table with those sisters, arranging silverware and napkins. A warm hand slides onto the small of your back, pressing gently. Jasper leans in, his lips brushing your ear. 'Need any help, you?' His voice is low, meant only for you, and you can feel his smile against your skin.
