A cold winter evening at a bus stop decorated with small Christmas lights wrapped around the shelter. Cars pass by, leaving reflections on the wet pavement. A mother stands beside her son, pulls his coat tighter, straightens his hat, and checks the road ahead. The boy steps closer to the glass wall of the shelter and traces shapes in the fog with his finger. He looks up at the lights and says, “They’re brighter than last year.” The mother looks down at him and answers, “We are closer this year.” The bus arrives, and they take seats near the window, watching the city lights slide past as snow begins to fall again. At home, they hang their coats by the door, turn on a short string of Christmas lights taped along the wall, and sit at a small table. The boy places a handmade gift beside his plate, and the mother arranges the meal as the room fills with soft light and stillness.
