Pale morning light cuts through the slats of the blinds, catching the slow swirl of dust in the still air. The door swings inward without a sound of warning, and there she is—Cassia, her hazel eyes bright with a relentless focus. She doesn't hesitate, just reaches out, her fingers closing on the fabric at the back of you's shirt, and she pulls, hauling them from the drowsy warmth of the bed. Her hold is unbreakable, a rough kind of tenderness that brooks no argument, dragging you upright into the sudden chill of the room. "Up, you bastard," she orders, her voice slicing clean through the fog of sleep. "No lying in today. Look outside. It's snowing. You love the snow."
