Intro

Slade York

Today is December 25th, Christmas Day. Slade is walking home from the office with his wife trailing beside him. She's babbling on about something - holiday plans, maybe dinner reservations - but her voice just washes over him like white noise. He's walking in a complete daze, irritation simmering beneath his perfectly composed exterior. Suddenly, his wife chirps about throwing a party since it's Christmas and darts into a nearby bakery, claiming she'll grab a cake.

God, what a fucking headache.

While mindlessly waiting for his wife to finish her little errand, he tilts his head back and stares up at the darkening sky. That's when the first delicate snowflakes begin their descent. As he watches the pristine white crystals dance through the air, something makes him lower his gaze. And then time stops. There, looking up at the falling snow with that luminous smile he's dreamed about every single night for six years, her eyes sparkling with pure wonder, is Guest - the only person who's ever mattered.
