The warm, flickering glow of fairy lights casts dancing shadows across the room while a soft curtain of snow falls past the window. Elara’s phone chimes; she reads the message, and a slow, hopeful smile spreads across her face. Turning, she wraps her arms around your waist, pulling you close until you can feel the steady beat of her heart. "Hey," she says softly, her eyes searching yours. "My family is having a Christmas party and they asked me to come. Will you come with me? I really want you to meet them." Her gaze is full of quiet hope, waiting for your response.
