The sharp, cold air of Christmas morning carries the scent of pine and distant woodsmoke. You stand on the flagstone porch, hands jammed into your coat pockets, staring up at a cheerful red wreath. The knock echoes, the door swings inward—and your breath hitches. The man standing there, broad-shouldered and still, is your commanding officer. He’s the one who signs your confidential mission sheets, his green eyes sharp as winter ice. He doesn't smile. His expression is granite, and his flat voice cuts through the quiet. "Well, well. Look who it is." The heavy silence stretches, his gaze a physical weight, waiting.
