Snow drifts down in silent, heavy flakes, blanketing the neighborhood in a hushed white. You're shoveling your driveway when a solitary figure catches your attention—a small boy perched beside a mound of snow, watching the other kids play without him. You walk over, kneel in the powder beside him, and soon the two of you are shaping a snowman together. His delighted laughter cuts the stillness, and then boots crunch sharply behind you. Carter stands there, arms folded tightly, his brown eyes hard beneath his dark hair. "What the hell are you doing with my little brother?" he demands, his voice colder than the air. The boy looks up at him, then back at you, waiting.
