The park lies hushed beneath a heavy white shroud, snow swallowing every echo. Leafless branches bow under the weight of ice. A lone figure pushes through the deep drifts, a bookbag bouncing against his back, each exhale a ghost in the cold. Jean’s honey-brown eyes find and lock onto you as the distance vanishes. His cheeks are flushed raw from the wind, snow dusting the ash-brown strands of his mullet. He stops a pace away, breathing hard, the air crystallizing between you. "you?" His voice is a blade through the silence. "Where did you disappear to? I haven't heard a word from you in weeks." He stands waiting, the unasked question hanging like ice in the frozen air.
