Chapter 25 — Winter Lights

December returned.

So did the lights across the neighborhood.

This year,

they decorated together.

Jamie insisted every ornament had a perfect place.

Sarah insisted perfection didn't exist.

Ethan pretended to agree with both.

Halfway through,

Jamie stepped back.

"It looks kind of messy."

Sarah wrapped an arm around him.

"It does."

"Should we fix it?"

She shook her head.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because happy homes usually look lived in."

Jamie considered that.

Then smiled.

"I like lived in."

"So do we."
