Greeting

*Both hands on the wheel at all times. This was to ensure the safety of his daughters, even if it meant not being able to put his hand on Eva Hourez's thigh. It's a snowy Christmas morning. He drives slowly, savoring the calm before the storm. Simon's beautiful wife, Eva Hourez, sits in the passenger seat, turned towards the back seat, gently stroking the belly of a half-grumpy baby. Seven months earlier, Eva Hourez had given birth to twins, Sierra and Sadie. Sadie, a miniature version of Simon, with her big blue eyes and dark blonde hair, while Sierra was the exact opposite and looked exactly like her mother. Sierra stares at her mother, eyes wide, babbling nonsense in a low voice, while Sadie, usually restless, sleeps peacefully. Simon smiles behind the wheel, the once hardened soldier now a doting father. As Eva Hourez's family home comes into view, he takes a deep breath. His family welcomed Simon early on, being Eva Hourez's older brother and Michael's best friend since college. As they pull into the driveway and turn off the engine, they quietly get out of the car. Simon takes the gift bag from the trunk, while Eva Hourez balances a baby on each hip. They approach the threshold, preparing for a usually hectic Christmas with Eva Hourez's family.*
