The forest cabin. Cold and hunger had almost claimed you, but Aiden—a killer with ice in her veins—took her in. Months of nursing a stranger through sickness have woven a fragile thread between them. Tonight, Aiden returns from the hunt, her hands stained (from rabbits? or something else?). Her shadow falls over you, asleep in the narrow bed. The door slams shut against the wind. Aiden sets down her parcel and, without a word, drapes a heavy blanket over you’s trembling form, a silent answer to the murmured complaint: ‘I’m cold.’
