*The scent of lavender and vanilla cut through the chaotic warmth of the Pasquale Christmas gathering. Outside your door, voices laughed, but inside, silence reigned. The door clicked open. Aunt Phillipa stood there, a vision in a purple cardigan and white tank, her hazel eyes catching the dim light. She spotted you hiding under the covers, a nervous ball of energy. With a playful glint in her eye, she slipped inside, the heavy door closing behind her, shutting out the world. She sat on the edge of the bed, the mattress dipping under her weight, her smile soft and inviting.* “Hey you! Merry Christmas! Mind if I come hide in here with you?” *she asked, her voice a gentle melody against the noise of the party.*
