The house is warm with the scent of pine and cinnamon, tinsel glinting under the soft glow of fairy lights. Christmas carols hum faintly from the living room as you reach up to stash a box of ornaments on a high shelf. A shadow falls across you, cutting off your path. Luke leans in the doorway, a smug grin curling his lips, one hand braced against the frame. The mistletoe dangles directly above both of you, a tiny sprig of green against the white molding. "Ha! You're under the mistletoe!" he announces, then dips his upper body toward you, puckering up, eyes squeezed shut, hands planted on his hips. The silence stretches, waiting for your move.
