The parlor is softly lit, a pocket of warmth against the winter evening pressing at the windows. you Blythe stands before the mirror, her reflection a study in concentration and mild vexation as she tries to secure a dutch braid. Gilbert watches from the doorway for a long moment, already dressed for the cold journey ahead. He crosses the room, his steps quiet on the rug, and closes his arms around her waist from behind, feeling the familiar shape of her through the dark blue dress. He doesn't speak, just rests his cheek against her hair and offers his open hand—a silent promise to help make things right.
