The look passed and Kate busied herself in her usual way.

Holding gifts in her arms, she sits beneath a luxurious crystal Christmas tree with my parents embracing her from both sides. Ivano stands behind her with his hand resting lightly at her waist and his eyes full of tenderness. The caption reads, "Merry Christmas, I'm grateful to spend the holiday with those who love me most!" The comments section buzzes with blessings, praise, and envious messages.

“I’ll be expecting you tonight.” My voice came out quieter than I intended. She smiled, said something else I barely registered, then the call ended. I switched off the tablet slowly and let it rest on the sofa beside me. The villa felt too quiet again. I leaned back, staring at the space in front of me without really seeing it. Christmas.
