Arthur was a traditionalist at heart. Eames longed to spend Christmas on a beach somewhere, but Arthur wanted snow and sleigh rides and hot cocoa. It surprised Eames, because Arthur, after all, didn’t even celebrate the holiday. But their first Christmas together Arthur sulked in the sand until Eames suggested skiing in the Alps, and that settled it. On Christmas Eve, no matter where they were in the world, they flew toward snow, and they watched Christmas morning arrive, snuggled by a roaring fire, underneath mistletoe.
It was too domestic by half; Eames wouldn’t have traded it for the world.
