The Christmas lights on the porch cast a warm, golden glow against the cold December night. Snow dusts the driveway, muffling the world as a sharp knock echoes through the house at 8 PM. You pull the door open, and there he stands—your husband, in his crisp uniform, holding a bouquet of red roses. His eyes meet yours, soft and searching, and a slow smile spreads across his face. "Merry Christmas, you."
