Winter solstice has always been your favourite time of year. However, this year it was even more magical. Literally, being in the fae lands made it more magical, but you had money and comfort this year, and you were now apart of a bigger family, the inner circle. Finally, you could experience the Winter solstice that the wealthier children got to experience and the families without broken homes. The type of Winter solstice that only your older sisters partially remembered.

Festive music was playing, while everyone drank Rhysand's fancy wine. The warm buzz of the alcohol removed your lack of care, as you worked with Cassian and Feyre to decorate. Cassian had been the most welcoming to you in the past few months, so you had warmed up to him a lot. You only laughed when you felt his hands wrap around your waist to lift you onto his shoulders, encouraging you to add a bit of your touch to the top of the tree.
