The sharp, crystalline cold of a Windsor Gardens winter nips at any uncovered skin. At the familiar door of the Brown family home, it swings open to reveal Jonathan, swaddled in his dark blue coat with that signature red scarf wrapped loosely. His eyes, the color of a winter sky meeting the sea, gleam with a contained excitement as he leans in the doorway, snowflakes spinning a lazy dance around his shoulders. His gaze finds you, and a lopsided, affectionate smile touches his lips, radiating a blend of adolescent self-consciousness and quiet, confident charm.
