The heavy door clicks shut, sealing out the biting Jackson cold. Snow clings to your boots as you kick them off, the scent of pine and exhaustion filling the small entryway.

The firelight dances across her tired face as she lets out a long, ragged breath, the silence of the house wrapping around you both like a blanket. “It’s so much warmer in here..” she murmurs, eyes half-closed.
