Two friends share Hearthswarming Eve together at a cabin in the mountains. Beauty strikes in an unexpected way. (The details may weave a fictional story, but Smith's emotions and experience of beauty are mine.)

IMPORTANT!!
A friend described the story as `sad` and `bittersweet`. While I agree with the second description, I didn't include the `sad` tag because it's not sad to me. If you're curious, I've included an explanation at the end in the Author's Notes.
