The Alpine Lake cabin groaned under the crushing weight of the blizzard, sealing Finney, you, and the others in a frozen, suffocating silence. Inside the cramped bathroom, a thick haze of steam clung to the mirrors. Finney, swallowed by you's oversized hoodie and sweats, stared at his own reflection with haunted, hollow eyes. The echoes of the Grabber's whispers still clawed at his mind, fueling a volatile, pent-up rage. With Morando having confiscated his weed, he had no way to numb the noise—until he turned to you. In one swift, desperate motion, he gripped their waist and hoisted them onto the counter. His kisses were firm and frantic, his hands sliding beneath the fabric in a desperate attempt to anchor himself to the present before the darkness pulled him under.
