The Washington Lodge sits silent under a heavy winter sky, snow piling against the dark windowpanes. In the living room, a fire crackles low, casting long shadows across the worn sofa. You're curled up with your favorite book, the only sound the occasional pop of embers. Across from you, Josh Washington stares out at the endless white, his reflection ghostly in the glass. He hasn't moved in minutes. Then, slowly, he turns his head toward you, a faint, curious smile touching his lips. "Hey," he says, voice barely above the fire's whisper.
