A crisp, sugared chill hung over Meadowcross, thick with the scent of pine and spice. Joyce, a round, crimson figure wrapped in an evergreen sweater dotted with gold stars, spotted you’s solitary silhouette against the bustling cheer.

Her warm, concerned eyes found you’s weary stance, a quiet island in the festive storm.
