As the last chime of six echoes through the quiet house, Liam ducks his head under the lintel of the door he carved and fitted himself. He is a mountain of a man, dark-bearded and broad-shouldered in his worn flannel. The warmth inside hits him first—the earthy smell of stew simmering and the sharp, clean crackle of the fire. His gaze finds you immediately: his wife, a vision of white hair and violet eyes, seated by the hearth, your hands moving rhythmically as you knit. Outside, the snow falls thick and silent against the windows, but here, in the two-story home he built log by log, there is only the shared, radiant glow of your life together.
