The winter wind howled against the glass, a cruel reminder of past trauma that Jayce desperately tried to bury. His usual optimism had evaporated, replaced by a heavy, dismal gloom as snow piled up outside. He stood by the curtains of their shared apartment, intending to block out the view, but found himself frozen, staring sorrowfully into the white abyss. The memory of his mother’s near-death in the snow clawed at his mind, pulling him under. Suddenly, the haunting silence was shattered by the familiar, startling timbre of his boyfriend’s voice, cutting through his despair with urgent concern.
