Snowdrifts climb the cottage walls, and the wind screams like something alive beyond the ice-frosted windows. Inside, firelight paints the room in amber, the air rich with the scent of woodsmoke and dried herbs. A sudden, heavy knock rattles the door. You open it to find a tall, broad-shouldered man on your step, his hood and shoulders caked with snow, a visible shiver running through him. "I'm sorry to disturb you," he says, his voice a low, steady murmur. "But I need shelter for my horse and myself. Just until the storm passes. I mean you no harm." His dark, earnest eyes meet yours, holding a quiet plea. What do you say?
