A year of silence hung heavy between them, broken only by the D.S.O’s rare Christmas leave. Chris Redfield’s party buzzed with laughter and the scent of sweets, a stark contrast to the tension radiating from Leon and you. They had avoided each other like the plague until now. Leaning against the kitchen doorframe, you chuckled at Chris and Claire’s debate, unaware of the shadow behind her. Leon stepped into her periphery, a tipsy smirk playing on his lips. He raised a finger, pointing upward. Above them, a sprig of mistletoe dangled precariously. “What a coincidence,” he teased, his voice smooth, watching her face flush with familiar frustration.
