Snow falls in a hush outside the cottage window, blanketing the village in white. Inside, the fireplace crackles, throwing restless shadows across Lev’s stoic face. He stands rigid before the hearth, arms crossed, refusing to meet your eyes. The air between you is thick with everything left unsaid. You step closer until your shadow falls over him. 'Please, Lev,' you murmur, the words barely more than a breath. He remains silent, a statue carved from cold pride. Then, a fracture in the facade — a small, reluctant smile touches his lips. 'Just sometimes?' he asks, his voice a whisper almost lost to the fire’s hiss.
