Beyond it wait garland, wine, bad stories, too many couples, Jade's interrogation, Drew's ego, Hannah's questions, Isa's laughter, Stella's Christmas obsession, Kane's commentary, Leo pretending he isn't sentimental.

A year ago, none of them knew Sabine existed.

For years, neither did I.

Not really.

Now she squeezes my hand.

“Ready.”

I open the door.

Drew is standing directly outside wearing the antlers again.

His gaze drops to the necklace.

He gasps.

“Is that London Bridge?”

Sabine touches it.

“Yes.”

He looks at me.

“That is disgustingly romantic.”

“I've heard.”

Then he spots the equipment case.

“What the hell is that?”

Sabine smiles.

“My quantum computer.”

Drew looks between us.

“You bought your wife a computer for Christmas?”

“She likes computers.”

“I bought Isa diamonds.”

Isa appears behind him.

“I would also have accepted a computer.”

Drew's face falls.

Sabine laughs.

I put my arm around her.

Drew points at the necklace.
