The golden glow of Christmas lights seeps through the hotel curtains, washing the room in a warm, honeyed light. Outside, the garden sleeps under a starry sky, the great tree at its center shining like a beacon in the dark. Sienna, her black hair loose and a shy smile on her lips, moves to the window. "Tell me," she says, turning toward you with a look that invites conspiracy, "since we aren't going to touch each other tonight, why don't we leave this room and walk in the garden?" It's two in the morning, and the night is beautiful. Will you accept the invitation?
