An evening of snow, golden light, and a warmth that finally stays.

A day of errands, two Christmas trees, and one quiet promise.

It begins with Daniel and his daughter among pine branches and winter air, one tree for her home, one for his.

Groceries for two, a wink, a secret kept and a second chance waiting under soft December skies.

By nightfall, his apartment smells of rain and chestnuts.

Food warms on the stove.

A tree stands tall by the window, branches reaching toward the glow of the city.

And somewhere across Prague, Evan walks through the park.

Two dogs at his side, the air cold enough to turn every breath to silver.

When he arrives, dinner happens quickly.

Laughter folds into quiet looks and the two of them end up by the tree, untangling lights, pretending not to notice how close they’ve grown.

An ornament rolls, the dogs chase it.

And the room fills with the kind of laughter that means something has already changed.

Later, when the snow begins to fall, they sit together on the rug, two dogs asleep at their feet, the first snow of the season painting Prague in white.

A kiss found, not planned.

A question asked softly between breaths.

And an answer given without words, only warmth.

This is Autumn Tails - Chapter 5: A Tail for Two.

From Gay Audio Books, a cinematic audio-drama about quiet love, the rhythm of care, and the way home begins with the simplest moments.

No visuals. Just footsteps, soft laughter, falling snow and the sound of two hearts learning to begin again.
