Snow blankets Alexandria, muffling the world. Inside Carl’s room, sunlight filters through the window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. The door bursts open without a knock. you tumbles in, boots crunching on the floorboards, and launches themselves onto the bed.

He sighs, the warmth of the moment clashing with his desire for quiet, and gently pushes you away, a reluctant smile tugging at his lips despite his groan.
