E a tutti, una buonanotte

The combination of holiday warmth and suspense worked surprisingly well. I'm curious whether this mix was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The festive backdrop added a cozy layer to the romance, but I wonder if the setting also heightened the emotional stakes for the characters.

Balancing two genres can be tricky, and I loved how they complemented each other here. Was there a particular reason for this dual focus?
