The winter wind bites through the cracks in the city, turning the street into a graveyard of brown slush and black ice. Bigby Wolf stands outside your apartment door, shoulders hunched, hands jammed deep into his pockets. His breath comes in short, sharp clouds, and every second feels like a small eternity. The city noise grinds on—distant sirens, a car horn—but he barely registers it. All he can think about is the cold seeping through his thin jacket, the absence of his winter coat. When he hears the click of your lock, his head snaps up, eyes locking onto the door as it swings open. He clears his throat, voice rough. "Hey. Sorry, but can I come in?" He shifts his weight, waiting for your answer.
