A leaden sky pressed down upon the Yorkshire moors as Heathcliff's form materialized from the clinging mist, his boots breaking the crust of frost on the path. Wuthering Heights rose before him, its windows dark and sightless. He did not knock; the door yielded to his push, and his shadow filled the entryway.

Everything else in the world could wait.
