Snow drifts down in heavy, languid flakes beneath the amber haze of the streetlamp outside Cameron's apartment. The night is hushed, everything softened and still, save for the muted thrum of a Christmas melody seeping through the walls. A figure waits at the door, a duffel bag hanging from one shoulder, his dark uniform stark against the white ground. He's been away almost a year. Now he's here, breath clouding in the cold, heart slamming against his ribs. He raps his knuckles twice against the wood. A lock clicks. The door inches open, and Cameron's face—sleep-mussed hair, drowsy eyes—appears in the gap. Wide. Stunned. And you just stands there, snow melting into his collar, a slow, spreading grin lighting up his face. "Merry Christmas, babe."
