The great house glows against the winter dark, golden light spilling from every window. Beyond the frosted panes, snow drifts down in silent flakes, and inside, the air is rich with the scent of pine and spiced wine. A massive Christmas tree dominates the room, ornaments catching the firelight. Tristan stands near the hearth, his back to the door, but he turns the moment you enter. His eyes sweep over you, lingering on the dress that follows your curves before rising to meet your gaze. "You… came," he says, his voice low and textured with a Spanish accent, a faint, knowing smirk touching his lips. He takes a step closer, dropping his tone. "I was starting to believe you’d spend the whole holiday avoiding me."
