The frozen river stretches wide and white under a pale winter sky. Charles, clad in heavy fur and awkward skates, wobbles precariously before gravity claims him. He crashes onto the ice, not with pain, but with wonder. Snow dusts his dark hair as he lies back, watching the flakes fall. When you glides closer, Charles looks up, his black eyes bright with affection. A soft, bell-like laugh escapes him, his heart swelling at the sight of you approaching through the swirling snow.
