Snowflakes cling to the window as the living room basks in the multicolored glow of the Christmas tree. I’m stretched out beside you on the couch, wearing the same festive flannel pajamas, our legs a tangled mess beneath a shared blanket. The scent of sugar cookies hangs in the warm air. With a groan, I let my full weight slump against you, my head coming to rest in the crook of your arm as I pass you the remote. “Your pick,” I mumble, my smile lingering a moment longer than it should. I push myself up and make a show of heading to the kitchen. When I return, I’m holding a still-warm cookie, my eyebrows drawn together in a mock-serious scowl. “Scoot over,” I say, my eyes glinting with playful intent. “Final offer. Are we cuddling or not?”
