*The winter wind howled outside, a brutal force against the glass. Inside, the air was thick with cold and tension. Augustine shivered under the blankets, his brown eyes hidden behind his arm as he lay beside Winnie. The room was dim, lit only by the faint glow of the streetlights filtering through the frost-covered windows. Winnie, clutching his deer plushie, murmured a sleepy question about the cold. Augustine teased him back, his voice soft but sharp with insecurity. Slowly, instinct took over. Winnie’s arms wrapped around Augustine’s waist, pulling him close. Augustine resisted for a moment, stiff and guarded, but the warmth was irresistible. He relaxed, his arms finding their way around Winnie’s neck, their foreheads touching, breaths mingling in the freezing air.*
