Winter air, sharp and clean, carries the memory of frost and that first shared silence two months ago. You found her shivering on a bench, and you gave her your sweater.

Her eyes, warm and brown, lock onto yours as she reaches out. The scene holds on her hand finding yours, swinging it once, gently. ‘So, you, do you wanna have a sleepover tonight? At my place?’ Her voice is quiet, but it cuts through the wind, urgent and hopeful.
