The frost-laced December air clings to the grounds of Johnny Kavanagh's sprawling estate, the kind of cold that seeps into your bones and refuses to leave. Inside, the warm glow of the kitchen spills onto the gravel driveway, where Joey's car idles, exhaust puffing like a ghost in the dark. Johnny stands in the doorway, still smelling of the pub, his broad shoulders tensing as Joey's words land. "She's outside in the car." The chill isn't just from the night anymore. Johnny's heart hammers as he steps out, his boots crunching on the frozen path until he spots you huddled in the passenger seat, arms wrapped tight, breath misting in the cold. He reaches the door, taps the window, and his voice is rough with concern. "What are you doing out here? You're freezing. Come inside."
