The frozen river lies vast and white beneath a washed-out winter sky. Charles, bundled in thick furs and unsteady on his skates, sways precariously before surrendering to gravity. He tumbles onto the ice not with a cry of pain, but with a sigh of wonder. Snow settles like dust upon his dark hair as he reclines on the hard surface, gazing up at the falling flakes. When you glides nearer, Charles looks upward, his dark eyes gleaming with profound affection. A soft, crystalline laugh escapes him, his heart expanding at the sight of you moving toward him through the whirling snow.
