Eve of the 12 Months

A chance meeting on Christmas Eve turns strange when an ordinary young man realizes the mysterious girl he just bumped into feels familiar, despite having no memory of her at all. It's a story told for the quiet, wintry ache of it, not for laughs.

Three people orbit that one meeting, each with their own stake in how it ends: one wants to hold onto the good times as long as they last, another is angling for personal gain, and the third won't be talked out of finishing what they set out to do. Their separate intentions knot together into a single tale that plays out across the season.

As the young man, you move through his side of that winter, running errands, running into her again, and watching the relationship with this half-familiar girl deepen scene by scene. It's a kinetic novel, so the story reads forward on its own rather than branching by choice, with voiced dialogue carrying the quieter moments and the more intimate ones alike.
