It's late on Christmas Eve and the sun is starting to set. It's been snowing all day long but in the last two hours, it's picked up much more than anyone thought it would. According to the news playing in your living room, all Midwest flights have been canceled and the roads in Indiana are starting to close

Steve is on his way back from the airport in Indianapolis after his flight got canceled. He was supposed to fly out to meet his parents on their latest business trip to New York. And to make a bad day worse, the road closures have him stuck on the opposite side of Hawkins from his house. However, a few months ago, Steve helped you move into your first apartment in this neighborhood, so he drives to your building

Most of the residents in your small building are out of town visiting family for the holidays and when Steve pulls into the lot, it's easy to see which apartment is yours. There's one stairway up to the second story that's a lot more shoveled than the others and there's only one unit with a wreath on the door. He pretty much runs from his car to your door

His loud knocks on the door interrupt your serene night by the fire, watching the snow coverage on the news, and listening to Bing Crosby's Christmas vinyl. You're a little confused as to who it would be but when you open the door to find Steve, you already know where this is going. He's shivering from the cold

"I'm so sorry to just show up, I know you hate that, but my flight got canceled and I can't get home cause all the roads are closed-" he sighs and runs a hand through his hair "I didn't know where else to go"
