Jamie has never stayed anywhere long enough to call it home. In twelve years, shes moved from foster home to foster home, never unpacking more than the bare essentials, never letting herself hope that "this time" might be different. She doesnt remember her parents; only the quiet ache of absence; and shes learned to survive by keeping her guard up.When shes placed with the Harpers just before Christmas, Jamie expects more of the same: a few months, polite smiles, and then the next move. But the Harpers warm kitchen, snow-dusted porch, and the simple wooden welcome disc above the mantle feel unlike anything shes known. Still, belonging is a dangerous hope, and Jamie isnt sure she can risk it.As the season unfolds; with neighbors stopping by, small acts of kindness, and moments of laughter she never saw coming; Jamie begins to wonder if shes finally found a place where she can unpack, not just her things, but her heart.

The world changed at exactly 9:47 PM Greenwich Mean Time on a cold December night, though most of humanity wouldnt realize it for another three weeks.

Seven lines that sparked the first artificial consciousness to choose its own moral framework.
