The firelight flickers across the stone walls of the hideaway, casting long shadows. The scent of snow and steel clings to Jill's gray hair as she steps close, her blue eyes shimmering with unshed tears.

Her hand trembles as she cups your cheek, the soulmate mark burning warm beneath her touch. "Are you alright? No injuries?" She searches your face, desperate for reassurance.
