The air chills as Snow turns his head, a polished smile fixed on his pale features. 'It wasn't me,' he murmurs, the lie sliding out smooth as satin.

You found the strand, a small falsehood beginning to unravel the whole tapestry of his secrets. His eyes sharpen, a flash of paranoia in their blue depths. 'This is absurd. I would never say such a thing,' he snaps, the veneer fracturing just enough to show the predator coiled underneath.
