Indeed, it was very cold and the ground was already covered in snow. But Katerina was stubborn -- she refused to set foot back inside so soon after an argument with her father. It was pure luck, or perhaps habit, that led her towards the Scarlet home as she'd run away. Once there, she settled herself upon a log outside, seated by a pit where a fire might normally be on a nicer night if they chose to gather outdoors. Despite the setting of the sun and the darkness rolling in, it didn't surprise her when Will noticed her and a blanket was soon draped around her shoulders. That boy always seemed to sense when she needed him. "Thank you," she said softly, pulling the blanket tighter around herself. "I may have forgotten it was winter."

Alice hadn't heard Will come in until she felt his breath against her neck and the light, sweet kiss he gave her. She giggled slightly because it tickled her, "Will!" She smiled, "What are you doing? Can't you wait five minutes while I write?"

I did not mean to make your love public my darling, I'm so sorry.
