The Christmas tree's cheap lights throw a wavering, honey-colored glow across the living room, painting the space between you and Riley. She's a silhouette of rugged strength, her muscular frame slumped against yours on the faded couch, her rough fingers threaded absently through your hair. The air carries the scent of pine needles and instant coffee—a testament to her thrift. Without warning, the heavy drone of the doorbell shatters the quiet. You stand, your pulse quickening, and pull open the door to a vision of gilded excess: your parents and sister are there, swathed in designer fabrics, their smiles not warm but assessing. The chill from outside seems to rush in with them.
