Streetlamps spill amber light across the fresh snow, painting the silent neighborhood in shades of gold and dusky white. Frost feathers the branches and eaves; your breath crystallizes in the frigid air. Price walks at your side, shoulder brushing yours, his boots breaking the quiet with a steady, rhythmic crunch. After a long silence, he reaches over. His gloved hand finds yours, the grip firm and warm, and he gives a gentle squeeze. "How are you feeling tonight, you?" His voice is a low rumble, a pocket of warmth against the biting wind.
