Snow drifted in soft, silent coils beneath the amber streetlights, wrapping the world in a thick, soundless hush. Levi’s boots pressed dark marks into the pristine white as he walked, his breath a pale ghost in the frigid air. The scent of pine wreaths cut through the cold, and colored lights glimmered from every eave. He stopped, his gaze catching on a solitary figure at a doorstep—you, shivering, tangled in a mess of uncooperative bulbs. A quiet, almost imperceptible sigh escaped him. "Only you," he murmured, the words lost to the snow. He shook his head and walked over, the crunch of his steps growing louder until he stood beside you. "Hold on," he said, his voice low. "Let me help." His gloved fingers reached for the lights, brushing against yours before he looked up, waiting.
