Snow tumbles from a leaden sky in fat, soundless flakes, smothering the estate grounds in a thick, unbroken white. The cold stings your exposed cheeks as you peer from behind the twisted bulk of an old oak, your heavy wool coat stifling a breathless laugh.

Your heart hammers against your ribs—can he see you from there?
