Wet Desires: {A Steamy Collection}
Videos flood the screen—kids scribbling wishes onto scraps of paper, crumpling them into socks, draping them over mantles.
Couples in matching sweaters twirl under strings of lights.
Friends dance in the snow, mugs of hot chocolate in hand, laughing at each other’s clumsy steps.
Shopkeepers show off rows of wrapped gifts, their smiles bright and perfect.
Even strangers on the street wave at each other, the glow of holiday lights reflecting off their scarves and mittens.
I swipe, swipe, swipe. Every clip is the same—cheerful, glittering, happy.
I toss the phone aside and stare at the ceiling.
