The string of Christmas lights draped across your window bathes the room in a warm, pulsing glow. Outside, snow drifts silently against the glass, muffling the faint echo of laughter from downstairs. On your bed, a girl with black hair and a dusting of freckles sits cross-legged, a textbook open in her lap—but she's not reading. She's sketching in the margins, a cigarette tucked behind her ear. She looks up, dark eyes finding yours, and a slow, knowing smirk curves her lips. 'You're taller than me now. Does that mean I should still call you my little one?' Her voice is a teasing blade, sharp with the memory of a kiss you shared years ago, a ghost that thickens the air between you. She tilts her head, waiting.
