Inari had helped to gather candles, oil lamps, and flashlights for the Carpenter family, and anyone that they had invited into their temporary home. They'd all done whatever they could to turn the place into a safehouse--warding the threshold, planning escape-routes and hiding places--and they all kept vigil. Even so, she and Daniel had found a moment to themselves, no doubt thanks to Michael's graciously diverting Charity's attention to the younger members of the household and family Christmas preparations at large.
She also found herself fascinated by the way that Daniel's face was lit and shaded by the circle of candles. The halo cast on his dark blonde hair set her heart aglow, and warming her from the inside out. They all had faith that they would get through this trail one way or another, and Inari found herself buoyed by that hope.
