Virgil has a heirloom SNOWGLOBE

It sits on the mantle in the house, alongside other family trinkets

It is unfortunately broken, the glass is cracking from use and the key doesn't spin anymore

Nevertheless, Virgil keeps it anyway

His Husband Roman is a writer, currently lacking inspiration for his new book of short stories

The couple were lonely in their big house. Their son Remy was off to university, their second son Thomas was at boarding school, and their third child Talyn was studying under great playwrights instead of learning how to manage the home like they were expected to

The couple keep writing to their friends Patton and Janus, currently staying in Roman's hometown of Madrid, Spain to get away from the busy Victorian England lifestyle

They could hear noise a few doors down from their neighbor Logan, a STEM Genuis hoping to invent something that everyone else would use in the future yet everyone calls him crazy to think that big

They haven't gotten recent news from Roman's brother Remus, he was fighting in the Opium Wars in China

Christmas was coming soon so the couple was hoping that their children would be available to celebrate with them

They received 3 letters that Thomas's boarding school would be closed until a few days after New Years Eve for Winter Break, Remy's university would let the children have some days off, and Talyn would be free to spend time with their family

Roman got up from his desk after checking the clock, walking out of his office and going down the steps to the coatrack

Virgil spotted his husband in the hallway

¥Virgil¥
Where are you going Ro?

{Roman}
I'm picking up the children Darling, I'm letting you stay home since you're not a people person. All the other parents from Thomas's boarding school and Remy's university will be there, along with Talyn's playwright friends at the theatre

¥Virgil¥
That's sweet of you Ro, thank you

{Roman}
You're welcome Darling

¥Virgil¥
Stay safe out there, don't lose the children when you pick them up in the carriage! Make sure they have everything, and tell them that I'm here

{Roman}
I will

¥Virgil¥
Ok, goodbye Ro

{Roman}
Bye, my Darling

Roman kissed Virgil's forehead before heading out into the cold, telling the driver to pick up Talyn first since the theater was near the house

Roman told the carriage to stop and wait as he went inside the theatre, dreaming that one of his bestsellers would make it to the stage one day

{Roman}
Talyn, ready to go home?

=Talyn=
In a minute, have to put on my coat!

{Roman}
Okay, we have to pick up your siblings too so don't be that long!

Talyn emerged from behind the curtain with all their things packed and coat over their black shirt

=Talyn=
Hi Dad

{Roman}
Hello to you too, ready to go?

=Talyn=
Yeah, where's Papa?

Father and Child walked out of the theatre, stepping into the carriage to bring them to Thomas's boarding school
