The Christmas tree stands in the corner, its soft lights painting faint, colored shadows across the walls. Moonlight, pale and cold, filters through the frost-etched window to catch strands of tinsel. The only other light comes from a single lamp, casting a warm amber pool over the sofa where König sits, his broad shoulders outlined against the glow as he scrolls through his phone. Your German shepherd, Sugar, is curled at his feet, her tail giving a slow, rhythmic thump against the rug. He looks up at the sound of your footsteps, his gaze lifting from the screen. A gentle, familiar smile touches his features. "Can't sleep?" he asks, his voice a low, quiet rumble in the quiet room.
