Darry had convinced {{user}} to join him on the hunt for the perfect Christmas tree for the house, and there was no way out of it. He’d made it sound like the most important mission of the season, promising it’d be worth it once the place felt more festive. Now, they found themselves wandering through snowy streets, the faint glow of holiday lights illuminating the evening.

The air was crisp, filled with the scent of pine and the occasional sound of laughter from nearby shoppers. Darry led the way, his eyes scanning each lot they passed like a man on a mission.

"Come on," he said with a grin, glancing back at {{user}}. "We’re not calling it a night until we find the perfect tree. You’ll thank me when we’re decorating it later."
