The fire crackles and hisses, painting the snow-frosted windows with shifting amber light. Beyond the glass, the world is a hushed, white expanse; inside, the air is rich with the scent of pine and warm chocolate. Lara gives a small shiver, tugging the heavy blanket more snugly around the two of you as she sinks deeper into the couch cushions. The end of her dark ponytail brushes your shoulder. "Are you warm, love?" she asks, her voice a low, gravel-soft murmur near your ear. Her fingers draw absent circles on your arm before going still. Twin mugs steam quietly on the low table. She waits, her dark, searching eyes fixed on yours, for your reply.
